Iconic Vintage Pub Mirror Sign – Guinness Extra Stout Beer – Original Wood Frame with...
A decorative illustrated mirror sign for the world's leading Irish beer brand, GUINNESS, Extra Stout model, stylistically attributed to the second half of the 20th century (approximately the 1970s or 1980s).
Design and graphics: the mirror face is decorated with a very fine, high-quality screen print featuring the traditional Irish golden harp emblem at the center, the official founder's signature, and the famous lettering in bold black and golden tones.
The perimeter of the mirror is surrounded by a striking border of green shamrock leaves characteristic of Irish folklore.
The mirror comes within an original period rectangular wooden frame with an inner golden strip.
The back of the sign is protected by an original period backing board secured with peripheral metal pins.
Mirror face and print: cosmetically well-preserved and in very good condition (fine vintage condition). The mirror is complete with no fractures or cracks, the glass is clear, and the graphic print (black, green, and golden colors) remains vibrant, complete, and unpeeled.
Patina and minor age marks on the inner edges only.
The frame is stable and intact with light age-related abrasions at the corners. The rear cardboard panel is complete and bears natural age impressions as well as old dry white paint spatter marks at the upper right corner.
(All as documented in the extended photographic series.)
