AFW - Antique France Worldwide
Description
Old advertising pin, depicting a stylized female bust silhouette, with blonde hair, red lips, and a red bustier top. The irregularly shaped object features a glossy enameled finish with visible silver metallic outlines. Dominant colors are white, red, gold (for details and inscriptions), and black as the background of the lower part. The inscription "D.A.R" is written in gold letters on a black background, followed by "PATRICK ET ROBERT" in gold capital letters on two lines, also on a black background. A gold inscription "51" appears on the right side of the pin, likely referencing an address, a number, or a theme related to the depicted bar.
The graphic style, color choices, and subject evoke the visual codes of the 1980s, a period when this type of advertising pin was particularly widespread in nightlife establishments (bars, discotheques, cafes). The enamel offers a smooth, glossy appearance, typical of productions from that era.
The visible surface shows no major chips or apparent structural defects. No details of the reverse side are visible in the photo.
The item is photographed on an orange-yellow satin fabric that enhances the brilliance of the enamel and highlights the piece.
