Vintage Enamel Gold Three Kings Pin, old style, rare collectible

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description
Figurative lapel pin depicting a traditional-style Magi. The piece features a cut-out shape following the outline of the character, dressed in a white cape, a golden tunic with a textured appearance, and a brown coat. The face, hands, and the book he holds are detailed in colored enamel. The entire outline is highlighted by a golden finish, accentuating the precious effect of the object. The enamel offers a subtle contrast between matte and glossy areas, typical of carefully crafted pins.

The visible scene evokes the classic iconography of the Magi, with a static posture and an object held in the arms, which could suggest a gift. The surrounding decor, composed of jewelry and antique boxes, emphasizes the decorative and retro dimension of the pin. No markings or signatures are visible on the front.

The dominant colors are gold, white, and brown, with beige tones for the skin. The outlines are sharp, and the gilding shows some slight visible wear, particularly on the raised areas, indicating a certain patina due to age. The overall appearance suggests a vintage manufacture, probably late 20th century, without certainty about the exact period.

The back fastener is not visible in this image, which prevents specifying the type of attachment. The piece is photographed in a neat environment, on a pink and gold velvet support, reinforcing the impression of a collectible or display item.

This pin can be searched for under several variations: badge, figurative brooch, Magi lapel pin, or religious enameled accessory. Its style and finish make it an ideal object for display on a textile support, a jewelry box, or in a thematic Christmas composition.

Condition
Used item, sold as is. Presence of slight surface wear on the gilding, some micro-scratches and visible patina, with no major loss on the visible front.

Did you know? Figurative pins depicting the Magi are often produced for Nativity scenes or Epiphany celebrations, particularly in France where the tradition of Nativity figurines has been very vibrant since the 19th century. Cold or hot enamel is a common technique for this type of small decorative object, allowing for a colorful and durable finish.
