Christ is Coming Soon, Foil and Reverse Painted Glass Folk Art Sign

Regular price $175.00

I've long been admiring reverse painted glass and foil (also called tinsel) text-based signs; folk art tinsel "paintings" (most commonly flowers in urns, etc) were also a thing, but it is the signs that I really love, which from what I've seen were rarely understated in their proclamations! Which makes perfect sense, as what better way to make a proclamation "pop" than to render it in shiny gold or silver against black?! The combination of gold foil, crosses in each corner, capital block letters, and scalloped edges on the glass all amplify the evangelical zeal of this one... rendered to complete perfection, I'd say! I can almost imagine it hanging around the neck of a street corner preacher.

8" long x 4 13/16" t x 5/8" d, heavy, and in excellent condition, no chips or other issues, with a wire loop for hanging. Early-ish 20th c. I believe.
