Font to "pass for" this handpainted sign style?

My sister, a skilled faux-finish painter, but not a sign painter, needs a font to use as a template in order to restore and add to the signage for this shop.

The tilde-like cross strokes on the A and the E seem to be distinguishing features to me... any ideas?

This resembles many of the sign-painter fonts that can be found at Letterhead Fonts. Just a quick look came up with Esoteric, which has three variants, including one that I think is fairly similar to your style. There may be others on the site.

Good idea, Mike!
