Rare Limited Edition Vintage UNICOIFF Gold Advertising Pin

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This vintage advertising pin features the UNICOIFF brand logo, clearly visible in gold letters on a red background at the bottom of the item. The shape of the pin is cut to the silhouettes of two human profiles, one male and one female, stylized and facing right. The surface has a brilliant gold finish, evoking a polished metallic look, typical of promotional items from the 1980s-1990s. The contrast between the gilding and the red band gives this pin an elegant and professional aesthetic, true to the world of hairdressing and beauty.

The delicate relief of the faces adds volume and highlights the graphic work of this piece. The cut precisely follows the hairline, accentuating the dynamism of the design. No other text, logo, or brand is visible on the displayed side. The composition is strictly frontal, without superfluous elements, for an effective highlighting of the UNICOIFF brand.

The pin rests on a red fabric, which highlights the brilliance of its surface and reveals slight traces of wear or micro-scratches, mainly at the edges, without altering the legibility of the patterns or text. The gilding remains generally homogeneous on the visible side. The item is staged alongside a hand mirror and silver decorative elements, reinforcing the retro atmosphere and the world of beauty.

This type of item was frequently distributed in limited editions during advertising campaigns or professional events in the hairdressing industry. The absence of a date or serial number on the visible side does not allow for the precise year, but the graphic style and finish clearly evoke a vintage production, probably late 20th century.

The pin is intended to be worn on a jacket, uniform, or used as a decorative item. Its distinctive design makes it an emblematic piece for lovers of advertising items related to beauty and hairdressing.

Condition
