Golden couple. Gilded centrepiece of an old metal shop sign on an early-18th century timber-framed house in Michelstadt, Hesse, Germany. The gentleman wears a top hat, has a walking stick hooked over his arm and holds a large tobacco pipe. The lady wears a summer dress and hat, carries a small handbag in one hand and holds up a bunch of flowers in the other.
Michelstadt, Odenwald, Hesse, Germany: back view close-up of a vintage golden couple … the gentleman wearing a top hat, carrying a walking stick and holding a large tobacco pipe, and his lady wearing a short sleeve summer dress and hat while carrying a small handbag in one hand and a bunch of flowers in the other. These charming gilded figures, here seen from behind, are the centrepiece of an old metal shop sign on an early-18th century timber-framed house in Braunstrasse. They stand on a black-painted platform, surrounded by wrought iron flowers. Michelstadt is a small picturesque town between Darmstadt and Heidelberg. It is located in the heart of the Odenwald nature park and has numerous historic buildings, many timber-framed and with some retaining their traditional shop and inn signs.
