Vintage limited edition "Le Domaine des Estérelles Fréjus" pin, advertising badge

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This vintage advertising pin depicts "Le Domaine des Estérelles à Fréjus," a site located in the south of France. It is a rectangular badge with rounded corners, presented here in a red velvet case. The visible side of the pin features a stylized illustration of green and brown hills, topped with black and blue lettering. The graphics clearly evoke an aesthetic from the 1980s-1990s, typical of promotional materials from that period.

The pin has a smooth finish with well-defined colors, likely achieved through an enameling technique or printing on a metal support, as is common for this type of object. The inscription "LE DOMAINE DES ESTERELLES À FRÉJUS" is perfectly legible on the front. Visual elements also include a schematic representation of the sea or a body of water in blue, reinforcing the Mediterranean identity of the promoted location.

The object is showcased in a red velvety case, which is not included in the sale unless otherwise stated. Around the pin, several decorative glass or plastic cabochons of different colors (green, blue, yellow) are visible but are not part of the described object.

This vintage pin, a limited edition according to the keywords, is a classic example of a promotional badge used for tourist or event communication. Its rectangular shape, graphic style, and print quality testify to careful manufacturing, typical of advertising objects from the late 20th century.

The visible side shows no major apparent defects: the overall appearance is clean, with no scratches or visible chips on the illustrated surface. The legibility of the inscriptions remains excellent. The visible edge shows a matte finish, without excessive shine.

Condition
