This is an original unrestored vintage enamel Hudsons Soap Sign mounted on a painted board. It’s an unusual design and looks really good on the board but could easily be taken off as there are no permanent fixings. I’ve had it for years in my office but I’m now working from home so clearing out. It’s difficult to date these signs but they were popular in the 1930s, Hudson’s Soap was in West Bromwich and eventually taken over by the Lever Brothers. It’s got oodles of character! The sign plate is 41 1/2″ long and 11 1/2″ High. The mounting board is 1235mm L x 490mm H X 18. S are the actual item just as it is it was on my office wall for some years so been in a dry environment.

VINTAGE SIGNED MAX KARP ENAMEL ON COPPER FRAMED PAINTING 12 X 9. This is a 12 x 9 framed original signed painting by Contemporary American Artist Max Karp. This is the Enamel on Copper that he is most well known for. The painting is in great overall condition. The frame shows heavy wear. This is believed to be one of his earlier paintings. He began enamel painting in the 1960’s. Please view all the photos of the actual item you will receive. American Artist Max Karp is one of the few contemporary painters to use enamel for his artistic work. He is internationally acclaimed as the father of modern enameling. His place in art history is assured, both because of his enormous talent and the fact that he has perfected unique processes, which allow the creation of museum-quality, kiln-fired collectibles. A self-taught artist, Karp was born in Ohio in 1916 and raised in California. He lives in Southern California. Karp began painting by recording in his oils various species of birds and insects for his father who was an ornithologist/entomologist. In the mid-1960’s, Karp became interested in the enamel process. Beginning on a small scale, he taught himself the enamel technique and later experimented with the large paintings in enamel for which he is best known. During the last decade, Karp’s enamel paintings have received critical recognition. In 1970 Hamilton Mint commissioned Karp to produce four paintings of the seasons of the year, which were then issued as a limited edition of plates on precious metal. In 1980 Karp’s 20 x 24-inch enamel portrait of Beverly Sills was presented to the American Queen of Opera following her final performance on full-length opera. In addition, numerous private art collectors, including Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Happy Rockefeller and Sarah Churchill, have acquired works by Max Karp for their collections.
