About the piece
This 1811 shop sign for a French Royal Tobacco Bureau (Manufactures Royales) features a beautifully painted crest of the French monarchy. Set against a deep black background, the gold lettering and vibrant blue shield create a sophisticated and scholarly aesthetic typical of early 19th-century Paris.
