AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This vintage pin features a stylized flag, clearly inspired by the Breton "Gwenn ha Du" flag, recognizable by its horizontal red stripes and black ermine patterns on a white background. The shape of the pin suggests a flag fluttering, with slightly wavy edges to enhance the effect of movement.

The visible side features a glossy enamel finish, which highlights the vibrancy of the colors and the crispness of the patterns. The five red stripes alternate with rows of black ermines, emblematic of Breton heraldry. The outline of the pin is accentuated by a golden border, giving the whole an elegant and refined look.

The structure of the pin, viewed in profile, shows a slight thickness and rigidity typical of accessories in this category. No text or logo is visible on the front. The overall impression evokes a retro style, typical of promotional items or souvenirs from the 80s-90s, although precise dating cannot be made solely based on the image.

The enamel offers a smooth and uniform finish, with no visible chips or scratches on the photographed side. The colors remain vibrant, without discoloration. The gilding around the edge has a consistent shine, with no visible signs of oxidation from this angle.

This pin is an ideal accessory to enhance an item of clothing, a jacket or a bag, or to be displayed on a stand dedicated to regional souvenirs or promotional items.

Condition

Used item sold as is, with a very satisfactory visual appearance on the visible side, with no noticeable defects.

Did you know? The Breton flag, called "Gwenn ha Du" (white and black in Breton), was created in 1923 by Morvan Marchal. The black ermines are a historical symbol of Brittany, dating back to the time of the Breton Duchy, and are present on many crafts and regional souvenirs.
