Vintage 1940s Jacob Wagner Inc. Bamboo Sign Hand-Painted Brooklyn Folk Art Rare

Own a rare piece of mid-century Brooklyn history with this authentic, hand-painted bamboo advertising sign for Jacob Wagner, Inc. Located at 425 Sutter Avenue in Brooklyn, NY, this business was a local fixture specializing in «Finest Wines & Liquors» with «Free Delivery.» The Artistry: This unique piece of folk art features a hand-painted tropical beach scene complete with palm trees, a serene waterfront, and a glowing moon—a popular aesthetic for liquor store advertising and bar decor during the 1930s and 40s. The artwork is applied to a delicate bamboo reed background, typical of vintage hand-painted scrolls and calendar tops from that era.
