King Of Beers Appraisal

Budweiser King of Beers Framed Mirror Sign

This item is a rectangular framed mirror sign advertising 'Budweiser King of Beers'. The primary colors of the design are red, gold, black, and silver/mirror. The large central motif is reminiscent of the classic Budweiser beer label, featuring a prominent red background that serves as the main color of the 'label' portion. The text 'Budweiser' is displayed in gold, italicized calligraphy, centered horizontally, and with 'KING OF BEERS' underneath in a smaller, sans-serif font. Below this, there is more detailed text outlining the brewing process and ingredients, stating: 'Brewed by our original process from the Choicest Hops, Rice and Best Barley Malt. THE WORLD'S LARGEST SELLING BEER Anheuser-Busch, Inc.'. This text is primarily in white or silver on a darker, possibly black or dark gray, mirrored panel. On either side of the central mirrored panel are vertical red sections, each with the word 'GENUINE' printed vertically in gold lettering. The mirrored surface reflects light, creating some visible glare in the image, particularly at the top center. The border of the 'label' consists of intricate gold scrollwork and decorative elements, including what appears to be a shield or crest with the 'AB' (Anheuser-Busch) monogram. The mirror is encased in a relatively simple, dark brown wooden frame, which appears to have a smooth, possibly stained or varnished finish. The craftsmanship suggests a commercially produced advertising piece, likely from the late 20th century or early 21st century. Visible condition aspects include general reflectivity of the mirror, with no immediately obvious scratches or damage to the mirrored surface or graphic design. The frame appears to be in good condition with minor wear consistent with age and display, though a thorough inspection would be needed to confirm any subtle imperfections. The overall aesthetic is one of a classic brewery advertisement, common in bars, pubs, and home entertainment areas. There are no clear maker's marks or signatures visible other than the Anheuser-Busch branding.
