Item Description
Robert and Mary White produced the first R. White's lemonade in Camberwell, south London, in 1845 - from here they've developed into an instantly recognisable household brand.
This enamel sign was originally one side of the company's iconic triangular bins. It dates to the 1950s/ early '60s and is the earliest design to use the dark blue, yellow and green colour scheme - a design that we recognise from today's logo. This piece would make for an excellent bit of kitchen, cafe or bar decoration.
The sign is in good, bright condition with just minor surface scratches, a little nibbling around the outer edges and a small patch of enamel loss to the lower right corner.
The colours are vibrant and the sign retains a lovely surface gloss (see the angled photos where I've tried my best to show this).
The sign is 64cm high, 52cm wide and has a 2.5cm return on the top and bottom edges. Like many enamel signs, the base metal has a slight 'twist' to it, but easily flattens out - it can be hung with ease using it's original mounting holes; would just need fixings in the upper and lower holes to keep it flat to the wall.
