AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Vintage-style round pin, depicting a souvenir dated "Menton 93" (1993), as indicated by the inscription visible at the bottom of the central design. The front of the pin features an intense blue background adorned with twelve raised golden stars, arranged in a circle and evoking a unifying or commemorative style. In the center, a stylized silhouette of the Hexagon uses the colors of the French flag (blue, white, red), enhanced with golden details. Two animal silhouettes, probably dogs or heraldic animals, are integrated into the central design, one black, the other red, giving the whole an emblematic and distinctive appearance.

The surface of the pin has a glossy finish, typical of enameled or lacquered productions from the late 20th century, with no explicit mention of material in the keywords. The golden contours, stars, and central border are in relief, offering a striking visual effect. The whole is encircled by a regular golden border. The object is photographed against an antique background, highlighting its brilliance and the reflections on the surface.

The dominant colors are royal blue, gold, black, white, and red, ensuring excellent readability and visual appeal. The inscription "MENTON 93" is clearly legible below the central design, allowing the pin to be precisely dated to the year 1993. No other text or logo appears on the visible side.

The perfectly circular shape, combined with the regular arrangement of the stars and the choice of colors, evokes a commemorative or associative aesthetic, typical of souvenir pins from the 1990s. The manufacturing quality appears meticulous, with sharp details and homogeneous enameling on the front face.

Condition

Used item sold as is. The front of the pin has a glossy surface with some signs of wear or micro-scratches visible on some golden stars, without major chipping or apparent deformation.

Did you know? The pin, popularized in France in the 1980s and 1990s, was very popular during major sporting, cultural, or associative events. Menton, a city known for its events and gatherings, often served as a setting for the creation of commemorative pins, particularly during dog shows or exhibitions, hence the possible presence of animal motifs on this model.
