Delaunay Belleville 1904 vintage metal car frame

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

This decorative frame features a relief representation of a vintage car, explicitly identified by a golden plaque as a "DELAUNAY-BELLEVILLE 1904". The miniature car, in a shiny metallic silver color, boasts meticulous details: spoked wheels, an open soft top, a grille, and headlights, faithfully evoking the style of early 20th-century vehicles. The entire piece is mounted on a vibrant red felt background, which enhances the relief of the object and elegantly contrasts with the car's silver hue.

The frame, visible in the photo, is black with a glossy finish and a classic beveled profile. It neatly frames the whole piece, giving the object the appearance of a trophy or a refined wall decoration. The golden plaque located beneath the car features a perfectly legible black engraved inscription, indicating the model and year of the vehicle represented.

The miniature, viewed from the left profile, highlights the emblematic features of early automobiles: a taut soft top, running boards, and details of the driver's cabin. No additional decor appears on the background, which gives the object a sober and vintage aesthetic, ideal for emphasizing the retro character of the piece.

This type of object is often sought after as a wall or desk decoration, evoking the world of vintage cars, advertising memorabilia, or commemorative series related to historic brands. No alcohol brand logo is visible on the exposed side, but the presentation style is reminiscent of certain old advertising objects, particularly those related to the world of pastis, Ricard, or Pernod, as suggested in the keywords.

The frame and plaque appear to be in good general condition on the visible side, with no major scratches or apparent chips. The presentation on a wooden background and in front of a bookshelf suggests a decorative enhancement in a classic or vintage interior.

Condition Used item, sold as is. Some superficial signs of wear or age-related marks may be present, visible in the photos.
