Karstens bakery sign ca 1920 - a photo on Flickriver

Karstens bakery sign ca 1920

            This a Swedish bakery sign from ca 1920. It is in the Art Nouveau style (or Jugend, as they call it in Sweden, which is the German term for the same style) and it is made from cast iron, and then painted. The corn ears and the lettering are gilded. The "base" is painted wood, and that was once screwed to the wall above the entrance door to a bakery shop. There should also be a gilded "pretzel" hanging suspended from the two hooks, but that was missing when I bought the sign a great many years ago.
