AFW - Antique France Worldwide
Description
This pin depicts a stylized football scene with two players in action, one performing a characteristic acrobatic move. The piece highlights the colours blue, white, and gold, clearly evoking the visual identity of Olympique de Marseille. The finish has a coloured enamelled appearance, with golden outlines that emphasize the design and add a vintage touch characteristic of the 1990s.
On the lower part of the pin, two inscriptions are perfectly legible: "J.P. PAPIN" in gold letters on a green background, and "ONZE D'OR 1991" on a red background. This refers to the famous striker Jean-Pierre Papin, who was awarded the Onze d'Or trophy in 1991, a major distinction in French football of that era.
The shape of the badge is irregular, cut according to the silhouette of the characters, which gives it a dynamic and distinctive look, very typical of sports pins produced in the 80s-90s. The illustrated scene, with the raised arm and the player's movement, suggests a moment of celebration or iconic football action.
The entire pin has a glossy surface, with no pronounced relief other than the outlines of the design. The colours are vibrant and well-preserved on the visible side. The enamelling appears uniform, without chipping or apparent defects in the photographed area.
This badge is a visual testament to the history of French football and Olympique de Marseille, through one of its most emblematic players, in a graphic style faithful to the aesthetics of the 1990s.
