Bronze medal World Hairdressing vintage retro stylized face

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This antique medal has a classic circular shape and a bronze finish, as indicated by the keywords. The visible side features a relief decoration, composed of regular vertical lines and a stylized motif evoking a human face with graphic features. This artistic treatment, typical of some creations from the 1970s to 1980s, gives the medal a distinctly retro look.

The central motif highlights an abstract and geometric representation of the face, probably related to the theme of hairdressing, as suggested by the title "Mondial Coiffure". The regular lines could symbolize strands of hair or a comb, reinforcing the association with the world of professional hairdressing. The medal is placed on a wooden surface, which brings out its metallic nuances and relief details.

The surface of the medal shows a uniform patina, with some visible marks and micro-scratches, testifying to its age and vintage authenticity. No inscription or text is legible on the front, apart from the graphic motif. The edges appear regular and the piece has a flat appearance, with no three-dimensional structure or visible bail on this side.

The general style of the object, as well as the choice of material, is in the tradition of commemorative or honorary medals awarded during events or competitions related to hairdressing. The whole is distinguished by a minimalist and elegant aesthetic, suitable for display on a stand or in a showcase.

The medal is photographed against an old library background, which enhances its retro look and its decorative potential for a professional space, a hair salon, or a vintage interior. Its bronze finish gives it a warm and timeless hue.
