AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Bearer share certificate issued by Société Commerciale Bagnères et Dewisme, visible on the front of the document. This financial security, with a face value of 100 Francs, is typical of French shares from the early 20th century. The print features a wide ornamental frame in golden brown, with geometric and floral patterns, surrounding a cream background on which the text is printed in dark brown and red. The company name, capital, registered office address in Paris (36, rue Tronchet), and the mention "Action de 100 Francs au Porteur entièrement libérée" (Share of 100 Francs to Bearer fully paid up) are clearly legible in the upper central part.

The share number, here 48614, is clearly visible both on the main body of the document and repeated on each detachable coupon. The lower part features a series of numbered coupons, intended for detachment upon payment of dividends or interest. The graphic style and typography reflect an authentic 1920s design, a period when this type of document was commonly used in French finance.

The overall condition of the visible side shows paper slightly yellowed by time, without bright coloring or illustrations, but with a richly decorated frame. Handwritten signatures of an administrator and a representative of the board of directors are affixed at the bottom of the document, typical of period shares. No illustrations, visible watermarks, or figurative decorations appear other than the ornamental frame.

The coupons at the bottom of the certificate are printed in a rectangular format, aligned in several rows, and include the company name and share number. The whole presents an administrative and official aesthetic, characteristic of old securities. No major defects are visible on the shown side, apart from a slight curvature of the paper probably due to storage.

This document is a piece of French financial history, ideal for wall decoration or the study of economic archives.

Did you know? Bearer shares allowed their holder to remain anonymous, thus facilitating transfer and exchange without formality. Securities of this type were commonly used until the early 20th century, before the dematerialization of securities.
