AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Old advertising pin from the automotive category, featuring a stylized visual of bodywork and mechanics. The item has an irregular shape evoking a vehicle silhouette under a golden radiating pattern, typical of late 20th-century promotional creations. The central visual shows the line of a car stylized in red and gold, accompanied by a human silhouette on the right, against a background of golden rays suggesting a spotlight or curtain-raising effect.

The front of the pin features vibrant colors: dominant bright gold, with red and black accents. The inscription "CARROSSERIE MECANIQUE" (BODYWORK MECHANICS) in golden capital letters on a black background, as well as the mention "2000" at the bottom, are clearly legible. The whole is outlined by a golden border, giving the object an elegant and neat appearance, typical of enameled pins from the 1990s-2000s.

The pin's design combines geometric lines and an evocative graphic representation of the automotive sector: the stylized car, the human figure, and the radiating pattern suggest a theme of a workshop, garage, or event related to automotive mechanics. The enamel has a smooth and shiny appearance, with a golden finish on all contours and patterns.

The photographed piece is showcased on a light textile background, with an ornamental golden background that accentuates the pin's contrast and shine. No major defects are apparent on the visible side: the enamel and gilding appear well-preserved, without noticeable chips or scratches in the photo.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The visible side shows good overall preservation of the gilding and enamel, with no obvious signs of wear according to the photo.
