PROVENCE-GOLD vintage golden motorcycle pin, France emblem, retro, used

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Antique pin featuring the inscription "PROVENCE-GOLD" in gold letters on a black background, accompanied by a stylized regional coat of arms and heraldic motifs characteristic of Provence (cross, fleurs-de-lis, and medieval motifs on a blue, red, and gold background). The lower part of the pin showcases a large touring motorcycle, finely drawn in gold on an enameled background, with clear details on the bodywork, saddlebags, and fairing. The whole piece has a retro appearance, typical of the 1980s-1990s, both in its graphic style and its motorcycle and regional theme.

The gold finish gives this badge a distinctive shine, enhanced by the colored enamel that highlights the coat of arms and the motorcycle's design. The various visual elements are clearly legible: precise outlines, vibrant colors (red, blue, gold, black), and strong contrast. The item is displayed on a white textile background that enhances its reflections and brilliance.

The visible face shows no chips or major apparent defects. The enamel appears well-preserved, without noticeable cracks or discoloration. The entire pin displays a homogeneous patina, indicating moderate use, typical of a well-preserved second-hand item.

This pin is aimed at enthusiasts of regional souvenirs, vintage accessories, and motorcycle-related items. Its design evokes rallies, gatherings, or motorcycle clubs in the south of France, while remaining understated and elegant thanks to its gold finish.

The typography, colors, and general style suggest manufacturing from the late 20th century, consistent with the wave of promotional and commemorative pins distributed in France during the 80s and 90s.
