Vintage Marius Ferrat enamel pin, floral logo, rare advertising badge

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This vintage advertising pin features the brand "Marius Ferrat" in embossed green letters, accompanied by the slogan "FLEURIT LA VIE" (FLOWERS LIFE) in red letters. The front displays a stylized floral design: a large purple flower surrounded by green leaf motifs and small red berries, all enhanced by crisp outlines and contrasting colors. The pin's shape is irregular, following the logo's design, giving it a unique and attractive silhouette.

The visible surface shows a glossy finish, with an enameled or lacquered appearance. The colors remain vibrant despite some slight signs of wear visible on the edges, typical of a vintage item that has stood the test of time. The lettering and motifs are very clear, indicating careful workmanship in its advertising production. The typography used for the brand evokes a graphic style from the 80s-90s, the probable period of this pin's creation, although not absolutely certain.

The pin is presented in a front view, allowing full appreciation of the graphic composition and quality of the details. No mechanism or attachment is visible in this photo. The object rests on a carved wooden piece of furniture, which highlights its shine and decorative aspect.

A slight patina is discernible on the light part of the perimeter, a sign of previous use and natural aging of the apparent material. However, the overall presentation remains good for an advertising piece from this era.

The complete legible inscription on the front: Marius Ferrat (in green) and FLEURIT LA VIE (in red). No other text or logo appears on the visible area.

Condition
