AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Figurative brooch depicting a vintage car, crafted in a golden and black visual finish. The piece takes the shape of an antique automobile, recognizable by its high roof, spoked wheels, and retro silhouette, evoking the early days of motoring. The visible side features alternating smooth golden surfaces and circular black inlays, creating a striking and elegant contrast effect.

The outline of the brooch, as well as structural details like the hood, steering wheel, and wheels, are highlighted by a brilliant golden appearance. The wheels are openwork, hinting at the internal structure, and are integral to the main body of the brooch. The overall impression is one of refinement, typical of costume jewelry inspired by Art Deco or mid-20th-century retro designs, although a precise dating cannot be confirmed.

The visible surface shows no distinctive inscriptions, marks, or signatures. No obvious flaws, chips, or major scratches are visible on the photographed side. The object displays a beautiful shine and careful finish, with no apparent tarnishing on the golden part.

The brooch is mounted on a flat base and appears designed to be worn in a horizontal position, in accordance with its elongated shape. The metalwork and the alternation of colors are reminiscent of vintage costume jewelry productions, while adding an original touch with the automotive theme.

This costume jewelry, original in its theme, is for anyone who appreciates retro accessories or wishes to add a touch of elegance to an outfit. The brooch can also serve as a decorative element on clothing or a textile accessory.
