Ghana, Africa Outsider/Naive/Folk Art Painted Barbershop Sign by Humble Boy, Vintage. I’ve done a lot of research on this piece, and yet I can’t really tell you definitively all that much about it. I think it’s from the 1990s–it could absolutely be earlier. I think it’s by an artist who identifies himself as Humbleboy in Ghana, in Africa (an educated guess). The barbershop sign is a style that is a thing from the 20th Century in West Africa. There are many other examples of it on the internet. Apparently he uses found “canvasses”. In this case, he found an old schoolroom chalkboard and did not even erase the multiplication tables, but used the reverse to paint on. It is this feature that really identifies it as Folk Art. But it’s just a board painted black, so I don’t know if that counts as a “real blackboard”. And, there is possibility that this artist may be a trained artist. And if he is/was, then he wouldn’t really qualify as a Naive or Outsider artist, because by definition a Outsider Art is by a completely untrained artist. I do think it just a fabulous piece. It comes from the collection of my late friend who collected decorative and tribal masks from various countries, vintage postcards and Naive Art. It measure 18″ x 23″. Please look at all the photos and read everything I’ve written about the condition and description of this item. It’ll come to you from a smoke-free, pet-free house. Thanks for the consideration.

Vintage Folk Art Painted Sign Americana Outsider 1960s 70s Painting. Tough to date, wood seems decently old and weathered. 60s at earliest but I imagine 70s or 80s.

Rare barber sign from ghana. Never seen one quite like it. This has been in the collection for years. I believe this is late 90’s. Painting on an scrap sign (see photos for sizing and detail). This one is special.

This is a fabulous and rustic Antique Old Primitive American Folk Art Arabian Horse Ranch Painted Wood Sign, promoting the Lazy L Ranch that once resided in Artesia now part of Norwalk, California. This sign approximately dates to the 1940’s – 1950’s and advertises Arabians at Stud. ” The names of the studding horses are Azeke, and “San Benito, ” and the sign reads: “Horses Boarded. ” Additionally, someone has written “NO TRESPASSING at the top edge of the sign. Each side of this sign features the painted profile of an Arabian stallion. The address for this location reads 16708 Shoemaker, Artesia. This address is now under the borders of Norwalk, a neighboring city. The only information I could find on this ranch comes from two issues of the Long Beach Press Telegram from 1952 and 1953, which have been digitized online. Approximately 32 1/2 x 47 inches. Good condition for half a decade of outside use and weathering, with expected paint loss, paint flaking, edge wear, and some loosening and wood splitting to the original frame please see photos. However, it would be an easy fix to re-attach. Acquired in Los Angeles County, California. If you like what you see, I encourage you to make an Offer.
