AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Old advertising pin, depicting a stylized bee on a bright yellow hexagonal background. The bee is drawn in relief, with white wings bordered by a golden trim and a black body with golden stripes, characteristic of the meticulous design typical of the 80s-90s. The hexagon, a direct symbol of the honeycomb, highlights the inscription "LA CÉRÉSINE" in clearly legible golden letters on the front. This badge immediately evokes the beekeeping world and the promotion of the eponymous brand, known for its wax-based products.

The pin features a glossy finish, with yellow and white enamel on the surface, contrasting with the black and gold touches of the motif. The contours are sharp, the colors vibrant, with no visible alteration on the front. The object is presented on a decorative golden case, accentuating its precious and vintage appearance.

The hexagonal shape recalls honeycomb cells, accentuating the link with the world of bees and honey. The typography of the inscription, in relief and gold, reinforces the qualitative aspect of this advertising pin, often distributed during promotional campaigns in the 80s and 90s, particularly in France.

The central motif, the bee, is finely outlined in gold, with a marked visual contrast between the white wings and the dark body. The whole is enhanced by a golden outline that emphasizes the silhouette of the hexagon. No major defects, chips, or scratches are visible on the photographed side.

The object is intended to be worn or displayed, typical of collector's pins and vintage advertising items. It is an iconic badge, immediately recognizable by its bold colors and evocative graphics, perfect for display on a jacket, bag, or wall display board.
