📋 Condition ReportThis sign is in excellent antique condition, showing honest, stable age that proves its authenticity:

• The Glass & Gilding: The gold and silver lettering remains incredibly crisp and vibrant. The black background field is remarkably deep, even, and free of the major lifting often seen in signs of this age.
• Honest Patina: There is localized, minor flaking on the reverse-glass layer. This is strictly confined to the corner borders and does not touch or affect the main central design.
• The Frame & Backing: The carved wooden frame features beautiful detail, showing minor nicks, rub wear, and finish loss entirely consistent with a century of display. The backing board is fully secure with its period hardware intact.
