Mounting holes on both sides; ready to hang.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHAT WE KNOW\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCast iron signage in the French typographic tradition has been a staple of European interior and architectural hardware for well over a century. This piece is substantial in weight — cast iron rather than lightweight resin or pressed tin — with a gold-tone painted finish and raised lettering. Mounting holes present on each side for straightforward wall installation. No significant damage noted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE STORY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe French word \u003cem\u003eToilettes\u003c\/em\u003e carries a certain lightness that its English equivalent doesn't — it's the kind of label that signals a home with a sense of humor and a sense of style in equal measure. Cast iron door signs in this format were common in French hotels, restaurants, and private residences through the early-to-mid 20th century. This one brings that tradition into any space that can use a quiet, confident detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHY WE CHOSE IT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's heavy, it's specific, and it's immediately legible as a quality object rather than a novelty. The gold finish against cast iron reads as architectural rather than decorative — it belongs on a wall, not a shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THIS PIECE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Cast iron with gold-tone finish\u003cbr\u003eMounting: Side holes for wall installation\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very good — no chips or cracks noted, finish intact.\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: [DIMENSIONS]\u003cbr\u003eWeight: [WEIGHT]\u003cbr\u003eQuantity: 1 — one of a kind.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Found in the Field","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47381272395961,"sku":"G244741","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0782\/9438\/4825\/files\/IMG-0352.jpg?v=1782087241","url":"https:\/\/foundinthefield.store\/products\/cast-iron-toilettes-door-sign","provider":"Found in the Field","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
