Description

This enameled promotional pin features a colorful and detailed composition, typical of the early 1990s. On the visible side, a stylized representation of a white sailboat with yellow and red sails, numbered "85", is depicted, with the Crédit Agricole logo affixed to the hull. The sailboat is placed in front of a blue and green globe, symbolizing the spirit of adventure and international openness.

The upper part of the pin is enhanced with the inscription "PHILIPPE JEANTOT" on the left and "CREDIT AGRICOLE" on the right, indicating the partnership around a maritime challenge. The lower edge mentions "1981 1991 LES DEFIS D’ENTREPRENDRE" (1981 1991 THE CHALLENGES OF ENTERPRISE), which places the object in the specific context of the sporting and entrepreneurial challenges undertaken by Philippe Jeantot, a renowned French navigator.

The piece is made of enamel, with a glossy finish and vibrant colors: yellow, red, blue, green, and white dominate the palette. Black outlines highlight the different graphic elements, offering a sharp contrast and excellent legibility of the details and inscriptions. The visual aspect clearly evokes promotional items from the late 20th century, with a retro aesthetic true to the era.

This pin has an oval shape with a marked relief around the sailboat, which gives it a remarkable presence for an accessory of this category. No major defects are visible on the presented side: the enamel appears well-preserved, with no apparent chips or major scratches, and the colors are uniform.

Condition

Used item sold as is. The visible side has a good appearance, with no major observable defects.
