AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Vintage promotional pin featuring a playing card motif, with the inscription "TAPIS VERT" in capital letters on a green background. The visible side of the pin is adorned with four playing card symbols: spade (black), heart (red), diamond (red), and club (black). The outlines of the cards are marked with a dark blue line, and the whole is highlighted by a bright green band that emphasizes the name "TAPIS VERT". The item rests on a red velvet case, adding an elegant touch to the presentation.

The graphic design evokes the world of casino games, with a colorful style typical of late 20th-century promotional accessories. The finish has a glossy enameled appearance on the front, with a sharp contrast between the colors and the off-white background. The inscriptions and symbols are well-defined and legible.

The overall shape is that of a fanned deck of cards, with slightly rounded edges and a cut that faithfully represents the arrangement of playing cards. The pin appears to have a certain thickness, which gives it relief and presence in a display case or on a stand.

No additional marks or manufacturing details are visible on the front. The style and inscription suggest production for the promotion of the "Tapis Vert" brand or establishment, known to be associated with the gaming and casino sector in France.

The general condition observed in the photo shows good preservation of the enamel, with no apparent chips or major scratches. The colors remain vibrant and the outlines sharp. The red velvet presentation box, visible in the image, is mentioned only for staging purposes and is not explicitly included in the offer.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The visible appearance shows good overall preservation, with no apparent major defects on the front.
