Vintage Nadia Pigot Dance School Pin Sausset Les Pins 80s Retro Badge

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This antique pin has a square shape with rounded corners, a pale yellow background, and a thin dark frame, likely black or dark gray. On the visible side, a stylized silhouette of two dancers in motion occupies the center, rendered in contrasting black, evoking the world of classical or contemporary dance. The inscription "École de Danse Nadia Pigot" (Nadia Pigot Dance School) appears at the top, handwritten, while the mention "OEUVRES SOCIALES DE L.U.F.F Sausset Les Pins" (Social Works of L.U.F.F Sausset Les Pins) is clearly inscribed in a cartouche at the bottom of the object. The overall aesthetic is typical of promotional items from the 80s to 90s, with typography and graphics characteristic of that period.

The pin has a smooth surface with a slight glossy effect, suggesting an enameled coating or a lacquered finish on the front. The dominant colors are light yellow and black, which gives the object good legibility and a distinct visual identity. The silhouette of the dancers, in full motion, adds an artistic and dynamic touch, faithful to the spirit of dance schools of that era.

The inscriptions are clear and legible on the visible side: "École de Danse Nadia Pigot" at the top, "OEUVRES SOCIALES DE L.U.F.F" and "Sausset Les Pins" at the bottom. No other logo, brand, or pattern is visible on this side. The object is photographed resting on a carved wooden furniture, in a warm atmosphere that highlights its retro appearance.

This type of badge was frequently distributed at events, galas, or dance workshops, particularly to represent a school or a local association. Its compact shape and neat visual make it an easy accessory to wear on clothing or display in a showcase.

The general condition of the pin, as observable in the photo, shows some micro-scratches and signs of use on the surface, mainly visible under certain lighting angles. No major chips or losses appear on the front.

Condition
