Description

This vintage advertising pin represents the "Tapis Vert" brand, well-known in the world of gambling and casinos in France. The object has an irregular shape, evoking two superimposed playing cards, one displaying a black spade, the other a red heart, on a white background. The lower part of the pin is adorned with a green band marked "TAPIS VERT" in gold letters, accompanied by a red triangular motif. This badge has a golden visual finish on its edges, enhancing the contrast with the vibrant colors and enameled appearance of the surface.

The visible side of the pin shows clear details, with a graphic style typical of the 90s: crisp lines, oversized card symbols, and sharp colors. The background in the photo is a red velvet case that highlights the object, but only the front of the pin is visible in the image provided. No major flaws are apparent on the exposed side, apart from some slight marks due to age, giving the whole an authentic retro charm.

This advertising pin stands out due to its iconography directly linked to the world of gaming: the two cards evoke the atmosphere of casino tables, while the green of the band recalls the traditional color of gaming tables. The inscription "Tapis Vert" is perfectly legible, highlighting the promotional nature of the object.

The general appearance of the pin suggests a 1990s manufacturing, in line with the graphic style and materials used at that time for advertising objects. The golden outlines and colored enamel are characteristic of many advertising badges produced during this decade.

This "Tapis Vert" advertising badge can be displayed on a jacket, a pouch, or in a display case dedicated to retro objects and French casino souvenirs. Its evocative style makes it a decorative element in its own right for lovers of card games or old advertisements.
