AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Sewing thimble with an enamelled coat of arms, representing the Puy du Fou site. The object has a classic cylindrical thimble shape with a domed top, and a surface pattern of small regular indentations on the upper part and sides, characteristic of traditional thimbles. On the front, a red enamelled coat of arms adorned with four golden lozenges and surmounted by the inscription "PUY du FOU" in golden letters on a blue background is clearly visible. This decoration gives the object the appearance of a typical regional souvenir, often brought back from a stay or visit to the Vendée historical park.

The finish of the thimble evokes a silvery metallic appearance, with reliefs and a hammered surface, with no precise indication of the material. The embossed coat of arms adds a colorful and decorative touch, reinforcing the "vintage souvenir" spirit highlighted in the keywords. No other pattern or inscription is visible on the presented side.

The object is distinguished by its vintage style and the association of a regional emblem, making it a traditional sewing souvenir, but also a decorative or collector's accessory. The base of the thimble is rimmed, echoing the hammered texture of the main body.

The photo highlights the brilliance of the surface and the sharpness of the coat of arms, with no apparent major defects. The thimble is presented upright, on a light wooden support, which brings out its details and authentic appearance.

Condition

Used item sold as is. The visual appearance shows a well-preserved surface, with no chips or notable scratches on the visible side. The patina and shine are uniform.

Did you know? Le Puy du Fou, located in Vendée, is a historical theme park inaugurated in 1978, famous for its shows retracing the history of the region and France. Thimbles with coats of arms were commonly produced as souvenirs from the 1960s-1980s, with each region or tourist site offering its own enamelled model, often collected internationally as "thimble souvenirs."
