In 1393 pub signs were introduced in England so that people would know that there was a pub without having to read the name. Dare we mention illiteracy played a role? Famous names like The Red Lion, The Crown, The Royal Oak, The Swan and The White Hart.
But in Key West and Caribbean locales names like Mermaid Pub, Lost River Tavern and Captain’s Tavern are more like it, and we have some wonderful handcrafted, hand painted ones for your home or cozy tavern.
Local Florida Artist, Sheila Elsea has given us permission to sell her handmade signs online. Each sign is made to order by the artist. She will recreate this “Mermaid Pub” for your home, office or boat! Please allow 2 – 3 weeks for each handmade sign. Painted on recycled salvaged, 1/2″ thick wood. These are one-of-a-kind, custom painted signs. Click on any of the images to order online!
