AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Visual Description

This vintage promotional pin features an original shape reminiscent of a stylized pencil case or pot, adorned with school supplies. On the front, a green and white set square, three colored pencils (pink, green, and gold), as well as a set of stylized rulers and stationery accessories are clearly visible. The whole is encircled with a golden finish, which highlights the contour and provides a shiny effect, typical of enameled pin manufacturing from the 1980s-1990s.

The center of the pin displays the inscription "cadrillage" in pink letters, accompanied by the smaller text "l'espace papeterie," both clearly legible. The main background is black, accentuating the contrast with the colorful motifs and golden details. The overall composition clearly evokes the world of school stationery, with a predominance of vibrant colors and a retro graphic style.

The visible surface shows a smooth and shiny texture, characteristic of enameled pins. The contours have a uniform gilding, with no apparent oxidation on the front. No major defects, chips, or pronounced scratches are observable on the photographed area. All graphic elements are sharp and well-defined.

This pin stands out for its detailed motif and retro style, ideal for representing the world of stationery from the 80s-90s. The object is photographed on an old box, which highlights its decorative and vintage aspect.
