AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This antique pin honors Olympique de Marseille, an iconic French football club. It has a rectangular shape with slightly cut-out edges, enhanced by a golden finish around the perimeter. The visible side features an elaborate design, consisting of a central football, on which the inscription "ALLEZ MARSEILLE" stands out in black letters on an oblique banner.

To the left of the ball is a blue cross motif on a white background, evoking the historical colors of the city of Marseille. To the right, the light blue background is adorned with a stylized black fleur-de-lis, a symbol often associated with the Phocaean city, and a red border at the top right, adding an additional graphic touch.

The contrast between the solid areas of blue, white, and black, combined with the brilliance of the golden finish, gives this badge a retro look typical of 80s-90s supporter pins. The whole is made with great clarity, the outlines and motifs being well defined, without visible smudges on the front.

The pin appears to be in good overall condition according to the photo, with no apparent scratches or chips on the enameled surface. The gilding around the perimeter retains all its brilliance, with no traces of oxidation or significant wear perceptible in this view. The visual is perfectly legible, and the colors remain vivid, a sign of good preservation.

This type of badge was commonly worn on jackets, scarves, or bags during OM matches, and remains a prized accessory for showing one's attachment to the club. The details of the design and the mention "Allez Marseille" make it an object that is both decorative and symbolic.
