Welcome to The Salvage Dept, specialists in 20th century design, based in Sevenoaks, Kent. A striking set of three vintage Polish enamel/porcelain warning signs – original industrial pieces dating from the communist-era (PRL period), used in factories, power stations or electrical installations. The Signs: x2 amber/orange enamel signs – reading Nie wlaczac! Do Not Switch On! With red lightning bolt hazard symbol. Bold black typography on vivid mustard-yellow ground. X1 white enamel sign – reading Pod napieciem! Under Voltage / Live Electricity! Again with red lightning bolt. White ground with age-appropriate patina and minor chipping. All three feature the classic red downward lightning bolt symbol – the universal electrical hazard warning – and corner mounting holes for wall/panel fixing. Condition: Good vintage condition, age-related wear, minor chipping and surface marks consistent with authentic use. These are genuinely atmospheric pieces – highly sought after by collectors of industrial signage, Eastern European design, and mid-century memorabilia. The bold graphic design makes them equally popular as wall art in loft, industrial, or retro interiors. Reused and recycled packaging is used as much as possible.
