Hand-painted Vintage FLAT Sign wooden cutout and very New England coastNothing fussy about this hand painted vintage sign, which I assume was once used to advertise a flat for rent. I found it at the estate sale of an actress and philanthropist and like to imagine it was a souvenir from perhaps a first apartment rental in New York or London, where many memorable things happened! I just love the matte red against white, its great patina, and it's directness now as a declaration of flatness! 9 3 4" long x 3 3 4" tall x 3
