AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This French telephone card, also known as a telecard, features a rich visual design typical of late 20th-century productions. The visible side displays a collage of black and white and color photographs, with touches of bright red. Notably, there are dance motifs, a flower, a city view, a child, and other artistic or emotional scenes, evoking cultural diversity and the art of living. The inscription "BNVt Passionnément Télécarte" occupies a central position on the right, in white and red letters on a dark background, complemented by the mention "Télécarte 50" in a box at the bottom left.

The card has a visible golden chip on the left, characteristic of chip telecards used in phone booths in France in the 1990s and early 2000s. The surface has a glossy finish and rounded edges. Graphic elements include a film strip fragment and several vignettes evoking live performance, maternity, and the red rose, reinforcing the "passionately" thematic aspect.

The background of the card blends shades of black, white, gray, and red, with a dominance of floral and artistic motifs. No brand logo is explicitly visible on the side shown, but the presence of the "BNVt" acronym and the graphic style suggest a promotional or institutional edition. The card is placed on a bright yellow fabric, which highlights its contrasting colors.

The bottom left corner indicates "Télécarte 50," specifying that it is a 50-unit card, a standard format for this type of object. No serial number, date, or other information is visible on the photographed side. The chip and surface appear to be in good condition, without major scratches or apparent wear on this side.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The visible side is in very good apparent condition with an intact chip and vivid colors. No notable defects are visible in the photo.

Did you know? Chip telecards were introduced in France in the 1980s and peaked in the 1990s, before being gradually replaced by mobile phones. They have become objects of memory and design, with some series having been issued for cultural or institutional events.
