Timeless classics
Walk down any grand avenue in one of Europe’s big cities and you will see striking blue street signs that command your attention in the most understated way. Travel back to the 19th century and every single one of these signs was produced using porcelain enamel and that is why many still exist today. At RAMSIGN, we are enraptured by the enduring appeal of these signs and have paid tribute to them with our Metropolitan collection.
Original french house numbers
Long before house numbers and street names were manufactured from enamel, they were painstakingly hand-painted onto buildings.
The European industrial revolution modernized this process. This allowed for mass production to be used to make signs.
Back in the 1800s, ultramarine blue was the only color available and signs of this color have since become recognized as the typical French house numbers.
