Rich in period character, this unusual piece would have originally been displayed outside a newsagent, bookseller or commercial premises, serving as an eye-catching advertisement for one of Britain's most recognisable newspapers and proudly promoting the sale of the paper there.
Constructed from a wooden frame and painted signage, the piece captures the charm of early street advertising and retail display.
To the top is a deep blue section with the words showing "Financial Times" in a contrasting white colour. Below is a white panel set behind a metal frame which reads "The Financial Times puts business first ____ on sale here".
A fantastic advertising piece, it now makes an excellent addition to any collection of advertising memorabilia, publishing ephemera, or vintage shop fittings.
Ideal for adding character and decorative appeal to a library, office, printing environment or as part of a collection.
Dimensions: 40cm x 63.3cm
