AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Old advertising pin, clearly depicting a judo scene. The front shows two stylized judokas in light kimonos, one throwing the other, against a predominantly burgundy background with a green area resembling a tatami mat or stylized decor. The inscription "JUDO CLUB" is positioned vertically on the right side, while "Le Castillet" is calligraphed at the bottom in a distinct area. The outline of the pin follows the silhouettes of the characters, accentuating the effect of athletic movement.

The surface features a shiny enameled finish, with well-defined colors: green, burgundy, cream, and touches of pale pink for the faces and extremities. Details are enhanced by a gold border visible on the outlines and the separations of the colored areas. The object is presented on a burgundy velvet background, highlighting its tones and brilliance.

This pin, with its vintage appearance, reflects the typical graphic style of sports badges from the 1980s-1990s, with a dynamic composition and an emphasis on the club's name. The handwritten typography "Le Castillet" and the vertical lettering "JUDO CLUB" are perfectly legible.

There is a slight patina on the gold parts and discreet wear on the enameled surface, indicating prior use. The colors remain vibrant, and the overall item retains a beautiful visual presence.

Condition

Used item sold as is. Some signs of wear from use, light patina on the gold areas, enameled surface generally well preserved.
