Vintage Champagne Bottle Keychain Reims Smile Advertising France

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

This antique advertising keyring depicts a Champagne bottle, true to the aesthetic of French promotional accessories from decades past. The general shape takes on the classic codes of a champagne bottle, with a translucent green body evoking glass, a long neck topped with a black cap with relief, and a gold trompe-l'oeil medallion around the neck. The keyring attachment is a metal ring, fixed directly to the top of the molded cork, for practical everyday use.

The visible side features a detailed, predominantly cream-colored label, on which one can read: "Le Sourire de Reims" (The Smile of Reims), followed by the name "Henri Abelé" and the mention "Champagne". The emblem of the house and the city of Reims are also discernible, typical elements of traditional Champagne productions. The intentionally aged printing of the label contributes to the vintage appearance of the object and recalls the graphic codes of the mid-20th century.

The shades of green and black, combined with gold details, create a visual effect characteristic of promotional keyrings from the 1960s-1970s. The relief of the cork and medallion are well-defined, adding realism to this miniature. The silver-finished metal ring shows visible signs of wear in the photo, attesting to its authenticity and previous use.

The surface of the bottle shows some signs of wear, notably irregularities on the label and slight marks on the green part, without detracting from the overall retro charm. No major chips or structural defects are visible on the presented side.

The object is typical of advertising keyrings offered by major French Champagne houses in the 20th century, used as goodies or corporate gifts. Its presentation immediately evokes the world of spirits and the wine-making tradition of the Reims region.

Condition: Used item, sold as is. Visible wear on the ring and label, patinated appearance consistent with vintage use. See photo for the exact condition of the exposed side.
