Raphaël vintage bottle keyring France alcohol advertising
AFW - Antique France Worldwide
Description
This antique promotional keyring features a miniature bottle with slender lines, faithfully replicating an alcoholic beverage bottle. The bottle has a dark red cap and a dark body, topped with a yellowed label where the inscription "Raphaël" is clearly visible in red handwritten letters, typical of mid-20th century advertising graphics. The label also includes a smaller mention, difficult to decipher, but which seems to indicate a variety or product reference.
The bottle is securely attached to a short chain connected to a metallic-looking keyring, equipped with a spring mechanism resembling a handcuff or a safety clasp. This rather unique detail gives the whole piece a retro look while ensuring robust attachment for daily use.
The object has a glossy finish on the bottle, with visible reflections on the surface, suggesting a smooth and translucent material, probably plastic or molded resin (material not explicitly indicated). The keyring shows a patina of use, characterized by slight oxidation marks and a dulled surface, typical of old metals or alloys used in the 50s-70s.
This keyring stands out for the fidelity of its miniature reproduction and the presence of a period advertising label, making it an authentic promotional item for the Raphaël aperitif brand, famous in France. The typography and color of the label evoke the aesthetic of promotional items from the 60s to 70s.
The item is photographed in a golden-decorated case, highlighting the contrast between the sobriety of the bottle and the ornamentation of the frame, but only the keyring is offered for sale.
Condition
