Mahogany frame with glass plaque insert sign written in black and gold leaf. Excellent condition. Some minor cracks in the rear of the wood frame and scratches to the sign written panel. Measures 100cm x 19cm. Modern metal hoops for hanging.
This sign was produced to adorn the top of a mahogany display cabinet for Carr's Biscuits. In the later Victorian and Edwardian period, cabinets with two to four tiers of glazed shelves were produced for biscuit companies, designed to fit biscuit tin dispensers which were a common size. This sign, with its reference to HM The King is likely to be Edwardian (1901-1910).
Founded in 1831, Carr's of Carlisle received the royal warrant by 1841 and were the largest bakery in Britain by 1846. By 1885 Carr’s produced 128 different varieties of biscuit and employed over 1000 people.
