'Brochier-Basso plage' is a sign in the style of the Parisian metro that I made for my friends Audrey and David.
They've turned their garden into a mini water park and this sign sits proudly in the beach hut.
The sign is completely flat with the tile border painted as trompe l'oeil. Swipe to the last photo to see the flat version.

I did this in the middle of winter and not wanting to stink out the house with oil-based paints, did the whole thing in acrylics.
This is custom lettering, based on Art Nouveau letter shapes and the seven millefiori underneath hold a significance for the B-B family.

Ghost sign for Alain Murzeau, Maitre Artisan (furniture maker and interior designer), at 19 Rue du Commerce, 49100 Angers, France.

The business was founded in 1924, and moved here in 1934, perhaps suggesting this is when the sign was painted.

Their shop is still trading at 11 Place Laiterie, 49100 Angers.

The full text of the sign reads:

PEINTURE • PATINE • PAPIER • PEINTS
MOQUETTES • TISSUS • TENDUS

A. MURZEAU
