AFW - Antique France Worldwide
Visual description
This original hubcap, designed for a Renault vehicle, stands out for its typical retro design. The part has a cruciform shape with four branches, with a central circular surface adorned with the famous Renault diamond logo in relief, with a chrome finish. The background of the medallion is a vibrant red, framed by a silver border, which accentuates the contrast with the central logo. The whole rests on a dark, glossy black base, the texture of which shows signs of use and fine scratches, indicating previous use.
The visible side clearly shows the Renault logo, emblematic of the brand, which occupies a prominent place in the center of the hubcap. The four ends are slightly flared, each pierced with a small hole on one branch, probably intended for attachment to the rim or steering wheel of an older model. No other marking or inscription is visible in the photographed area.
The contrast between the central red and the black of the base gives the whole a distinctive style, reminiscent of French automobile production from the 1970s to the 1980s. The patinated appearance and signs of wear add an authentic touch, enhancing the vintage appeal of the piece. The rounded contours and the relief of the logo bear witness to careful manufacturing, characteristic of the era.
The surface of the hubcap shows some superficial scratches and traces of use, but the whole remains in good structural condition for a used part. The logo remains perfectly identifiable, and the red color retains its brilliance despite the years.

Did you know? The Renault diamond, the central emblem of this hubcap, was officially adopted by the brand in 1925 and has undergone several stylistic evolutions. The red background variants were often used to distinguish certain models or special series in the 1970s-80s, particularly on the hubcaps and steering wheels of popular and utility Renault vehicles.
