Victorian 'Regent Street, W' Sign in Original Wood Frame
"City of Westminster - Regent St. W" c.1880s
Produced by the City of Wesminster, 92cm x 34cm x 3 cm. Solid ceramic tablet and inset painted metal lettering within original wooden frame. Condition: Very good with clear signs of being in situ for a long period of time.
Named after the Prince Regent, King George IV, Regent Street was completed in 1825. It was a bold and very expensive town planning project, under the direction of John Nash, that saw many Medievil streets wiped off the map in its construction.
Built specifically for "shops appropriated with articles of fashion and taste" it remains one of the most iconic and architecturally impressive shopping streets in London. Nash believed the road would run down a de facto line separating the upper classes and nobility in Mayfair with the working class in Soho. The City of Westminster saw standardised street signage and its distinctive gothic heading introduced in the 1850s with the creation of the postal code system.
