AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Old advertising book cover from the brand Fima, specializing in doors, windows and shutters, visible on the front. This book protector has a dark brown leather look with lighter shades, and a grained texture typical of vintage finishes. The cover is rigid, rectangular in shape, and its upper right edge is reinforced with a golden metal corner, characteristic of stationery accessories from the mid to late 20th century.

The lower right part of the cover bears the following white inscription: "Fima PORTES - FENÊTRES - VOLETS, Lissieu 69380 Lozanne, Tél : (7) 839_02_43", accompanied by a graphic logo. This marking suggests a promotional use or a corporate item, common in the 1970s-1980s. No other pattern or decoration is visible on this side.

The surface texture is clearly visible, with a weathered effect typical of objects that have survived several decades. The edges are clean and the visible stitching around the perimeter indicates careful manufacturing. The metal corner shows a slight patina, with no major signs of oxidation on the visible part.

The main color is a deep brown, nuanced with lighter reflections, typical of the "aged leather" finishes used in retro stationery and old office accessories. The contrast between the leather-look material and the white marking accentuates the vintage look of the whole. The item is presented standing on an old bookshelf background, highlighting its purpose as protection or covering for a book or notebook.

The cover is elongated, with no precise dimensions indicated, and shows no additional decorative elements on the visible side. The overall condition shows some light signs of use, with no apparent structural defects on this side.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. Some superficial marks and a use patina are visible, consistent with its age and function. The metal corner shows slight wear, with no apparent structural damage to the photographed part.
