AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This antique keychain features a stylized, ivory-white garlic bulb pendant, suspended from a metal chain and a classic ring. The appearance of the pendant evokes a molded sculpture, with embossed details faithfully imitating the characteristic ridges and segments of a garlic clove, giving the object a retro style typical of advertising items from the mid to late 20th century.

The upper part of the keychain consists of a silver-plated circular metal ring with a swivel clasp, connected by a link to the garlic figurine. The pendant has a matte finish, with a slight patina visible on the raised details, testifying to its age and authenticity. No logo, inscription, or mark is visible on the photographed side.

The overall shape of the keychain is compact, suitable for daily use as a keyring accessory or an original advertising item. The surface of the pendant shows small irregularities and nuances, typical of vintage productions, enhancing the decorative and retro character of the whole.

The object stands out for its unusual garlic motif, often used in food advertising or as a regional symbol, making it a unique piece in the category of antique advertising items. The off-white color, slightly nuanced, matches many styles of vintage keychains from the 60s to 80s.

The keychain is presented on a white textile background, highlighting the sculpted details and texture of the pendant. No major defects, chips, or cracks are visible on the side shown, but slight traces of use may be noted, particularly on the metal ring.

Condition

Used item sold as is, with superficial signs of wear consistent with age. The pendant surface and the ring show a light patina, with no apparent structural defects on the visible side.

Did you know? Advertising keychains saw a boom in France from the 1950s onwards, becoming a preferred medium for promoting food products, particularly in the agri-food sector. Garlic-shaped models are particularly associated with regional communication and the image of local produce.
