AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Antique keychain featuring a horse head, made of smooth, matte brown leather, with a mane cut from a lighter suede leather piece. The keychain showcases meticulous cutting work that outlines the muzzle, ear, and mane, offering an expressive silhouette typical of vintage accessories. The leather's relief and the mane's finesse highlight a retro style, likely from the 70s-80s, highly sought after by collectors of antique equestrian items or authentic leather accessories.

The visible side shows a horse head in profile, with discreetly incised eye and nostril. The main leather is a warm brown, contrasted by the more textured mane. "PAT" is embossed into the leather, indicating either a registered design or a manufacturer, a detail valued for authenticity. The entire piece is attached to a sturdy metal ring, connected to a short chain and a snap hook, allowing for easy attachment to keys, bags, or belts.

The keychain is presented on a bright yellow cushion, which highlights the sobriety of the brown leather and the elegance of the horse motif. No major flaws are visible on the displayed side: the leather retains its original hue, with no apparent cracking or stains, and the metal ring shows no significant oxidation. The finishes are clean, reflecting artisanal or semi-artisanal craftsmanship typical of leather goods accessories from that era.

This vintage horse keychain stands out for its evocative and timeless design, ideal for daily use or as a decorative equestrian-themed accessory. The quality of the leather, the cut of the mane, and the presence of the "PAT" mark make it unique, while displaying a retro style faithful to the aesthetics of the 70s-80s.
