Vintage advertising bottle opener, knight motif, silver-plated look

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This antique advertising bottle opener features an angular hexagonal shape on the functional part, combined with an ornamental round medal. The whole piece has a silver-plated metal appearance, with a matte patina visible under the light. The medal displays a detailed relief motif of a knight on horseback, brandishing a spear, with stylized architectural elements in the background. The entire decoration is surrounded by a circular inscription in capital letters, the full text of which is not entirely legible in the image, but which contributes to the evocative style of period promotional items.

The structure of the bottle opener highlights the contrast between the strict geometry of the opener and the elaborate roundness of the medal. The visible striations on the hexagonal part attest to molding or stamping work typical of 20th-century bar advertising items. The surface shows slight wear and reflections, emphasizing its retro and authentic character.

The visible side shows no apparent manufacturer's marking, but the chivalric iconography and typographic choice evoke a historical style, often used in advertising campaigns by European breweries or beverage brands from the mid-20th century. The piece is placed on a dark textile support, highlighting the relief of the decoration.
