Vintage advertising pixie figurine keychain, painted finish, old

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This antique keychain features a figurine of a goblin or a small bearded character wearing a hood. The item has a hand-painted finish, with a pink-toned coat, a dark scarf around the neck, grey trousers, and dark boots. The face is expressive, with painted details for the eyes, mouth, and beard.

The figurine is attached to a classic-style keychain ring, connected by a rigid rod to the attachment ring. The ensemble evokes the popular advertising style of past decades, with a naive and charming appearance. The paint shows some visible signs of wear, particularly on the face and extremities, attesting to authentic use over time.

The surface of the figurine has a slightly glossy appearance, characteristic of promotional keychains from the 60s to 80s. The standing position and dynamic posture of the character add a decorative touch, typical of vintage advertising items.

A small suitcase or accessory is observed on the left side of the character, adding an additional detail to the scene depicted. No markings or logos are visible on the displayed side, but the style suggests a product from a promotional campaign or a regional souvenir.

The dominant color is salmon pink for the hood and top, contrasting with the grey trousers and brown boots. The molding lines and hand-painting highlight the artisanal nature of the piece. The ring and rod are color-matched to the ensemble, with a weathered appearance.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. Shows visible signs of wear on the paint, small marks and signs of use, with no apparent structural damage on the visible side.
