AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description
Antique rectangular keychain with a shiny metallic finish, presented on a white background. This promotional keychain features an engraved design on its main face, depicting a stylized face associated with a foliage pattern, typical of 1990s graphic design. The legible inscription "OLYMPIADES JEAN BOUIN 1996" appears at the bottom, while the left side reveals other engraved characters, although some are partially visible or difficult to read in the photo.

The keychain consists of a rectangular plate attached to a short chain and a classic circular ring, allowing for easy attachment to a keyring or bag. The surface of the plate has a uniform metallic appearance, with no added color or visible enamel, reflecting light evenly.

The fine and regular engraving of the pattern and inscriptions indicates a quality industrial process, with a clear and precise rendering. The edges of the plate are straight and smooth, without additional ornamentation. No major defects are visible on the presented side; the surface appears clean, without deep scratches or obvious stains.

The overall aesthetic of the object, simple and graphic, corresponds to the advertising and commemorative spirit of the late 20th century. This type of keychain was often distributed at sporting or associative events, in limited series or as a promotional item.

Condition
Used item, sold as is. No chips, deformation, or significant wear visible on the main face. The metallic sheen is well preserved.
