Our recent trip to the Chateau de Fontainebleau saw the premiere of our new venture – The Parrot and Cocoa Tree Coffee and Chocolate House! Although in its early stages, this project will showcase the nature and experience of “luxury consumables” for Americans during the American Revolution. including demonstrations of a wide variety of hot beverages and foodstuffs.
It was particularly special to debut the new House sign whilst at Fontainebleau. Custom made by the incredibly talented Stuart Duncumb, Signwriter, the two sides demonstrate the more common ways in which businesses advertised themselves to passers-by: either by listing available goods, or with a striking and memorable picture!
