Vintage Citroën hubcap, chevron logo hubcap, for car restoration

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Original vintage Citroën hubcap, shown here from the front. It is a center cap featuring the famous Citroën double chevron in central relief, with a golden metallic finish, integrated into a circular base structured with distinct radial fluting. The geometric design, typical of Citroën productions from the mid-20th century, evokes an industrial and rational aesthetic, with clean volumes and an emphasis on the brand's iconic logo.

The surface has a matte, beige or light gray appearance, contrasting with the glossy central double chevron. The reliefs are sharp, with clean edges and a beautiful definition of the patterns. The overall piece stands out for its retro style, characteristic of automotive accessories from the 1950s to 1970s, often used on Citroën utility or sedan models.

The center cap shows visible signs of use: light surface marks, micro-scratches, and a uniform patina on the matte part, indicating past use. Some small areas of wear or chips are noticeable on the edges, without altering the readability of the pattern or the structural integrity.

No inscription, reference, or marking is visible on the exposed face. The chevron emblem remains clearly legible and retains a beautiful shine on the raised part. The overall shape is circular, with regular cutouts around the perimeter, typical of vintage Citroën wheel covers or hub caps.

This type of item is intended for the faithful restoration of vintage Citroën vehicles, or for display as a vintage decorative object, thanks to its iconic design and authentic appearance.

Did you know? The Citroën double chevron, created in 1919, is inspired by the shape of the helical gears patented by André Citroën. This logo has remained almost unchanged for over a century and is among the most recognizable industrial emblems in the automotive world.
