Description

This antique advertising keychain is a typical promotional item from Burgundy wine houses. It features a round medal with a patinated appearance, suspended from a short chain and a dark-colored spring ring, evoking an aged metallic finish. The medal bears a perfectly legible raised inscription: "BOURGOGNES BLONDEAU-DANNE CHATEAU DE SAINT-AUBIN Côte d’Or". This capitalized typography, slightly raised, indicates careful manufacturing and a sober graphic style, characteristic of advertising objects from the mid-20th century.

The visible side shows a surface marked by time, with traces of oxidation and micro-scratches, reinforcing the piece's vintage authenticity. The overall item has a gray-brown hue, typical of old alloys or patinated brass, although the precise material cannot be confirmed without further indication. The keychain features a classic, functional, and robust spring clasp, suitable for daily use or display in a cabinet.

The medal stands out for its regular circular shape and slightly worn edges, indicating past use. The inscription refers to the Blondeau-Danne house, a wine estate of Château de Saint-Aubin, located in Côte d'Or, an iconic region for great Burgundy wines. No other decorative motif is visible on the presented side, which highlights the text and the utilitarian aspect of the object.

This advertising keychain is in used condition, with a beautiful uniform patina and visible signs of age. It serves as a direct testament to vintage wine marketing and a charming item for enthusiasts of souvenirs related to French wine heritage. Its sober design and robustness make it a versatile decorative or utilitarian piece.

The item, photographed in natural light, shows a play of shadows and reflections that emphasizes the relief of the inscription and the texture of the surface. The ring and chain are securely attached to the medal, with no major signs of deformation on the visible part.
