Antique hand-painted Russian Baptist Mission sign, likely early 20th century. Black painted wooden sign with gold/tan lettering in both English and Russian Cyrillic. Text advertises Russian-Evangelical Baptist meetings with Sunday, Thursday, and Saturday service times, and notes free admission.
Measures approximately 32 x 26 inches.
Wonderful piece of immigrant religious history / folk art signage with strong visual age, surface wear, paint loss, craquelure, oxidation, and original hanging hardware. Appears to be an authentic old mission/church sign, possibly connected to a Russian Baptist immigrant congregation.
Condition is antique and heavily worn as shown. There is chipping, paint loss, cracking, old surface wear, losses to the frame/edges, and general age-related deterioration. Please review all photos closely.
