    Found this at the thrift store today. It measures 23.75" x 35.75" & is made of glass.
    Was this a department store's perfume dept's sign?
    Just wall art?
    What should I call it/describe it as when posting on eBay?
    Thank you very much!

    Suspect 'under glass' is more accurate; looks like art work is on the board on the back & protected by glass.

    People like those large factice bottles - store displays - but I don't think the display has much value...

    You do say it's glass... I'm guessing you mean the bottle :)

    Pay Fedex to pack it, then get the label from shipbikes.com (with insurance) so it still ships with Fedex, but for AT LEAST 50% less than I'd pay Fedex to ship it.
    (and no excuse if it breaks enroute with Fedex having packed it)

    Not a bottle - it's painted or print on glass - I think

    Yeesh! Why would they use glass for store display?

    1921 was the year no. 5 was introduced... Did you see this one somewhere, @Debora? I don't see it. Makes sense they would create new things to launch in 1921,100th anniversary :)

    They do large prints on metal sheets nowadays that have a very glassy/glossy look to them. I'd guess this is probably a sheet of aluminum with a glossy print on the front and a white coat on the back.

    That may have been a Chanel store decoration. It'll have a following.

    Haven't seen the like but that's a Chanel bottle with the brand's font.

    If it's a genuine Chanel merchandising piece, it should be printed with a code. Does it have one?

    Don't see one but I will look closer.
    BUT it now looks like a film? attached to glass. I noticed a small circle where light came through & looking closer at the back it looks like paper? or film? tore against a wall or something.
    Does this help tell what it is/was created for?
