AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This pin depicts a soccer player in motion, about to kick a ball. The silhouette, with a shiny metallic finish, is highlighted by golden outlines. The player wears a red jersey with a black collar, black shorts, and matching socks, with visible red and black details on the legs. The entire design is crafted in colored enamel, giving the pin a smooth and brilliant appearance. Below the figure, the inscription "LOTO SPORT" is clearly legible, with the "O" letters enhanced in green, evoking the French Lottery brand in a sports context.

The graphic style of the pin, as well as the player's aesthetic and typography, are reminiscent of French promotional productions from the 1980s-1990s, often distributed during sporting events or advertising campaigns. The motif is in relief and highly contrasted, allowing for good legibility even from a distance. This pin stands out for the quality of its enameling and the clarity of its colors, common characteristics of vintage advertising items.

The visible surface shows no major chips or notable alterations on the front. The details of the face, clothing, and ball are clear. The "LOTO SPORT" inscription is well-centered and shows no apparent defects. The background of the pin reveals a slight metallic sheen, typical of enameled pins from this period.

This pin is designed to be worn as a brooch, but it can also be displayed in a showcase or used as a decorative item on a suitable stand. The overall visual is typical of French sports imagery from the late 20th century, with a retro touch appreciated for decorating or customizing textile accessories.

The piece visible in the photo only shows one side, with no indication of the attachment system or the back. The object is presented standing on a decorative piece of furniture, which highlights its silhouette and the brilliance of its enamels.

Condition
