AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Advertising pin representing the Gitanes Blondes brand, visible on the front. This pin has a cut-out shape evoking the silhouette of a dancer in a flowing dress, with an arm raised, in a graphic style typical of the 80s. The lower part features the inscription "GITANES BLONDES" in capital letters, legible on a dark background, with golden outlines that highlight the contrast and the brand's visual identity.

The overall finish is shiny, with a golden appearance over the entire structure and a marked contrast between the black background of the text and the gold of the outline. The butterfly clutch fastening system on the back, partially visible, was commonly used for this type of badge in the 1980s.

The object features an iconic advertising style, faithful to the promotional aesthetic of the era, with a stylized silhouette and bold typography. No additional decorative details are visible on the front, which emphasizes the brand and the central motif.

The surface shows a smooth and shiny appearance, with no apparent engraved pattern outside the border and the inscription. The relief of the text and the dancer's outline is sharp, which gives the entire pin a qualitative and neat appearance.
