Why does this sign denote Pawn Brokers? Many traditional shops have iconic symbols outside their doors. The use of symbols for traditional shops dates back to a time in Europe when most people were unable to read or write. Instead, the common folk would rely on iconic symbols to identify the shops in medieval villages. Over time, the use of these symbols carried over and many are still in use today.
There is a variety of lore associated with the origins and meaning of the symbol. One of the most common stories about the origins of the pawnbrokers’ symbol traces back to the Medici family of Florence, Italy. The symbolic meaning is said to be drawn from Lombard, which comes from the Italian province, Lombardy. Pawn shop banking is said to have started under the name Lombard banking in this province. .
TwoJays Corner Antiques & Vintage are open 10.30am to 16.00pm 6 days a week, Tuesday to Sunday. Why not come visit us?
