Vintage LA CAMARGUE rearing horse pin, rectangular plate, rare old

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Old rectangular pin, depicting a rearing horse in black on a gold background with a patinated appearance. The visible side has a marbled texture, with many visible cracks on the surface, enhancing the vintage effect and the age of the object. The inscription in capital letters "LA CAMARGUE" appears at the bottom of the pin, in relief, perfectly legible. The rearing horse, an evocative symbol of the Camargue region, is stylized dynamically, with simple but expressive graphic work, characteristic of late 20th-century productions.

The background of the pin has a golden finish with a marked cracked effect, offering a sharp contrast with the black horse and the inscription. The edges of the pin are straight, with no apparent rounding, and the piece is mounted on a neutral textile support for the photo. No other graphic elements or inscriptions are visible on the front face.

The object shows signs of wear and surface marks, typical of prolonged use or storage: scratches, rubbing marks, and patina are clearly visible on the golden part, reinforcing the authentically vintage aspect of this pin. The whole presents a retro aesthetic, suitable for decoration or display on textiles.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The visible side shows a marked patina, scratches, and cracks on the golden finish, with no major apparent chips. The overall legibility of its motifs and inscriptions is preserved.
