Vintage limited edition enamelled crest pin, red and white emblem, promotional

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This antique pin features a shield shape, typical of heraldic blazons. The visible side has a white background enhanced with red and gold motifs. A stylized wheel, a crossed sword, and an intertwined ruler are discernible, all crafted in a gold finish, suggesting a symbol related to a guild or a technical or artisanal institution. The red elements form a V-shaped motif, evoking a ribbon or band, with wavy gold details to accentuate the relief and legibility of the design.

The pin's surface is smooth and shiny, characteristic of an enameled finish, with crisp outlines and a gold-lined border. The vibrant colors – deep red and pure white – give the object an elegant and distinctive appearance. No text or markings are visible on the photographed side, which reinforces the institutional or commemorative aspect of this limited edition.

The presentation in the photo, next to a burgundy velvet box (not included unless otherwise stated), highlights the manufacturing quality and the honorary or promotional purpose of this vintage advertising pin. The overall visual evokes careful manufacturing, suitable for an official award or representative use.

The gold hue visible on the entire outline and internal motifs suggests a metallic treatment, without it being possible to ascertain the precise nature of the metal from the image alone. The colored enamel covers the entire blazon, giving it additional protection and shine.

This pin is typical of advertising or honorary objects distributed in limited editions during institutional, associative, or professional events, in a graphic style that evokes productions from the 1980s to 2000s, although a precise dating cannot be advanced here.

Condition

Used item sold as is. The visible side shows very good preservation, with no scratches or apparent enamel loss in the photo. Some superficial traces of use or micro-wear may remain, which is normal for a vintage pin.
