Vintage metal Freight Rover advertising sign 29.5cm long old plates His reputation was firmly established

His reputation was firmly established by virtue of receiving a commission to design the entrance hall of the Württemburg display for the international exposition of decorative art in Turin

Ardizzone's lively line-and-wash drawings were also gently humourous and largely based on observation

It took along time (before internet) trapsing around antique fairs and shops tracking the sets down but he did it for many of the designs

including Operation Amsterdam (1959)

The moulded handle takes the form of a dragon or serpent
