Preserving the art of sign painting, one sign at a time.
At Gentleman Scholar Signs, we are dedicated to preserving the art of traditional sign painting. As a small business owner, I am passionate about honoring the past while pushing the craft forward into the future. Located in a private studio in San Francisco's Mission and Potrero Hill neighborhoods, we strive to uplift the aesthetic value of our community.
As a sign painter with years of experience, I have had the privilege of working with local small businesses, as well as corporate and private clients. I believe that hand-lettering and sign painting have the power to elevate a business's image and create a lasting impression on its customers. That's why I'm committed to using only the highest-quality materials and techniques to craft unique and beautiful signs.
Our Services
We specialize in creating hand-lettered signs for interior and exterior use. From menus to posters, we can hand-letter anything on any surface, including paper, board, glass, stucco, rough and smooth brick or walls, plastic, or metal. We also offer gold leaf gilding services, using only American and imported leaf from reputable suppliers. Whether it's a small logo or a large-scale graphic, we can create a sign that meets your specific needs and budget.
