SOUTHERN HIGHLAND HANDICRAFT GUILD INC. SIGN, featuring a round cardboard sign depicting a cabin in a woodland surrounded by the words "SOUTHERN HIGHLAND / HANDICRAFT GUILD INC" and edged in a yellow roping and mounted on a shield-form backing board. Backing and roping likely later than the cardboard sign itself. Mid 20th century. 17" HOA, 15" WOA.
Catalogue Note: The Southern Highland Handicraft Guild in Asheville, North Carolina was founded in 1930 as a part of a wider resurgence in the interest in handicrafts and traditional folk crafts. In the first half of the 20th century, many East Coast locations started producing goods in traditional manners to be sold to tourists in the area. This type of work is very present in North Carolina and the Southern Appalachian region where makers are producing primarily baskets and small household goods in a rather-large-production cottage industry, some even offering catalogues of the various types of objects they could make.

Condition

Good condition overall, the cardboard sign having some creases, minor ripping, and discoloration; wood and roping with moderate discoloration and surface wear.
