Garnier of London
produced these signs between 1970 and around 1990, when the company sadly became
defunct. Many of the signs were based on
much earlier advertisements, or replicated signs they and others had made from
the 1900s. Many more were made
especially for companies such as Robertson's, Sandemans and Fry's as special
giftware. They also supplied some of
these signs to DoDo designs, of Tunbridge Wells. Details and illustrations of some of their
1970s signs can be found on page 71 of “A History of Street Jewellery” by
Baglee and Morley, which is an excellent reference book for all enamel signs.
Garnier is probably
most noted for producing many of the iconic London
Underground signs and London enamel street signs.
