Vintage enamel pin PFAD Golden Ball Trophy, antique reward badge

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This antique pin features a rectangular shape, with a stylized representation of a trophy evoking a golden ball on a base, against a light background. The whole is decorated with pastel-toned enamel, mainly beige, gold, white, and dark blue. Visible inscriptions include "Télus" in handwritten gold lettering and "PFAD" in capital letters, accompanied by a graphic logo on the right. The whole is circled with a golden border, enhancing its official and commemorative appearance.

The pin is showcased on a red velvet support, suggesting a careful presentation. The details of the trophy, with its relief patterns on the upper part, provide a textured effect. The deep blue enamel of the lower band contrasts with the rest of the composition, drawing the eye to the "PFAD" mention.

The visible side shows no major defects: the enamel and gold appear clear, without scratches or apparent chips. The surface seems smooth and shiny, typical of enameled pin manufacturing from the late 20th century. No precise period markings are visible, but the design and graphic style evoke the 80s-90s, a period when this type of badge was frequently used for awards or sports or associative distinctions.

This PFAD pin, with its distinctive graphic design, can serve as an honorary badge, a souvenir, or a decorative accessory. Thanks to its enamel composition and golden finishes, it stands out for its elegant appearance and readability.

Four faceted green stones are arranged around the object, but they are not part of the pin itself. Their presence highlights the main piece and emphasizes its decorative character.
