All of the art work and collectibles being sold by Adams-Byrd Fine Art & Antiques have been collected and selected one at a time by the proprietor, an art historian with many years of training and experience in university art history departments, museums, galleries, and historic sites both in the U.S. and abroad.  The business has been based in the Washington, D.C. area for many years. The art and collectibles that we are offering to eBay buyers are special and unique pieces that have been carefully “curated” by us. 


If you like unique Coca-Cola collectibles and high quality American folk art, this is a great find.  We purchased it from a private collection in the Washington, D.C. area, but we have not yet determined where the artist lives.  This is a splendid example of high quality decorative painting by a contemporary craft artist.  The intent was to create a “country” / old-fashioned look; it is a modern reinterpretation of an old sign.  It was painted on a modern oak cabinet door. 

 

DELICIOUS  Coca-Cola REFRESHING  (and 5 cents repeated twice) is hand painted in a beige/gray paint (that matches the color of the border/frame) on a red background (with a black grid).  The border/frame is decorated with black “squiggles”.

 

The artist has signed it in black at the lower right corner --- P R REYNOLDS ’00 .

 

We have found references to a number of artists with the last name Reynolds and the first initial P, but we do not yet have a “match”. (We do not think it is by the Patrick Reynolds of Timberwind Ranch in Arizona.)

 

 

This decorative wood sign, painted in 2000, is in good condition.  In several spots it is hard to tell if “wear” / marks are from when it was made (since it was made to look vintage / antique) or from wear and handling in the past decade and a half.  As you look at the photographs, be sure to zoom in to check out the quality of the art and craftsmanship.

 

The dimensions are approximately 15” x 15” x ¾” (and the “window” is under 11” x 11”). 

 

There is a zigzag metal hook on the back to hang it on the wall ----- but if you like thinking outside of the box, we think this wonderful sign has several other great possibilities for Coke collectors.  Turn it into a serving tray: put two handles on the sides of the “frame”, take the hook off the back and cover the back with felt / fabric / paper, perhaps put a piece of protective glass down into the center of the top surface.  This could also be re-purposed to be a great table top.  Attach it to an existing small table or stand  --- or attach legs to this panel to create a small occasional table / stand.  If you want to protect the “art” when you have turned it into a table, you can put a square piece of glass over it (if you cover the entire surface, just be sure to use four little protector “tabs” so the glass does not rub against the painted frame).
