Vintage Globe Keychain advertising metal relief old shop

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Old advertising keychain, round, made of metal with a patinated finish. The visible side features a relief depicting a large modern building, identifiable as a store, with the inscription "Globe" in prominent capital letters at the top left, as well as a second mention "GLOBE" above the entrance of the depicted building. The entire scene is finely detailed, with rows of windows and a marked architectural perspective, typical of 60s-70s commercial graphics. The outline of the keychain is clean, with no additional patterns, which highlights the central design.

The bail is attached to a chain composed of three oval links, ending with a flat split ring, in a patinated metal tone, matching the pendant. The ring shows slight wear from use visible on the upper part. The whole presents a homogeneous dark gray tone, typical of old metal, with a matte patina and some traces of oxidation due to time.

The architectural decor is treated in bas-relief, with sharp details on the windows, entrance, and facade of the building. The perspective effect enhances the dynamism of the scene, highlighting the promotional aspect and the identity of the Globe store. No other text or logo is visible on the front.

The object is presented on an openwork textile background, which highlights the metallic texture and the slightly browned color of the keychain. No chips or missing parts are visible on the medal itself; the surface, however, shows some micro-scratches and signs of wear, consistent with daily use and old manufacturing.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. Patina and visible signs of wear, ring slightly tarnished. No apparent breaks or missing parts on the visible side.
