Create a wide 3:2 horizontal workshop sign, a finished physical heritage sign mounted on a dark walnut plank wall. A faded cream painted-tin central panel fills 78% of the width, framed by a thin aged-brass double rule with tiny oxidized dark spots; corners have small round brass mounting screws. Warm amber raking light from upper left reveals scratches, shallow dents, paint chips, faint foxing, and airborne dust. Keep the palette muted: cream, forest green, sepia, antique brass, dark wood; no neon, no modern plastic. Exact rendered text, with clear hierarchy: Top small curved line: “EST. 1986” Main headline, centered and dominant across 72% of the sign width: “Repairs” Second line centered below: “While You Wait” Bottom small line between dot separators: “OPEN MON–SAT · 8 AM–6 PM” Design “Repairs” as custom Art Nouveau display lettering: broad, high-contrast organic strokes with swollen plant-stem curves, irregular botanical joints, narrow apertures, and long curling vine-like terminals integrated into the R, s, and final s. Raised hand-painted deep forest-green enamel lettering, gently worn at outer edges; curved polished surfaces catch thin antique-gold reflected highlights and continuously changing amber glints. “While You Wait” is smaller, spaced, hand-painted forest-green Art Nouveau lettering with restrained tendril terminals. The top and bottom lines are compact aged serif lettering in broken sepia ink. Composition: centered sign face, generous cream negative space around the words; a small engraved brass gear-and-leaf emblem sits centered below the bottom rule as the workshop motif. Straight-on camera, slight visible thickness at the lower tin edge, crisp legible typography, realistic painted metal, ray-traced reflections, high-resolution sign photography. No people, no tools obscuring text, no extra words, no logos.
