AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This promotional pin badge features the logo of the newspaper "Le Provençal". It is presented in a small transparent plastic bag, suggesting a new or unworn condition. The visible side of the pin badge shows a glossy gold background, on which the inscription "Le Provençal" is applied in blue enameled letters. The vivid blue lettering contrasts sharply with the gold background, offering excellent readability and an elegant visual effect.

The background motif depicts the stylized shape of several open newspapers, also in gold, illustrating the world of print media. The design is carefully executed, without being overdone, to remain legible and evocative. The visible surface shows no apparent defects, scratches, or signs of oxidation. The overall appearance evokes the quality of promotional pin badges from the 80s and 90s, even though no precise date is indicated.

The piece is entirely surrounded by a gold border, enhancing the precious and refined look of the badge. The blue enamel, of a clear and homogeneous shade, reveals a slight relief to the touch, typical of the cold enameling technique used on this type of support.

This pin badge is designed to be worn in a buttonhole, on a jacket lapel, or used as a decorative badge. Its compact shape and the quality of the enamel make it an excellent choice for any enthusiast of advertising objects or souvenirs related to the French regional press.

The pin badge is presented in its original bag, suggesting that it has never been used. No additional accessories or packaging are visible in the photo.

Did you know? Le Provençal was an emblematic regional daily newspaper in the south of France, founded in Marseille in 1944. It merged in 1997 with Le Méridional to become La Provence, a title still active today. Promotional pin badges for regional newspapers were widely used in the 1980s and 1990s for local promotion and subscription campaigns.
