Vintage keyring The Blason de France Provence, retro advertising, coat of arms

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This vintage advertising keychain consists of two distinct elements suspended from an old metal ring. The main element, square with rounded corners, features a central crest with the legible inscription "LE BLASON DE FRANCE PROVENCE" surrounding a red coat of arms adorned with a blue fleur-de-lis. This motif evokes the regional coat of arms of Provence and recalls the graphic style of French advertising objects from the mid-20th century. The background of the medallion displays an alternation of dark blue, vivid red, and white, accentuating its typically retro character.

A second round element, attached to the same ring, features a relief illustrating a scene or motif not entirely legible in the photo. This darker, patinated disc enhances the antique appearance of the whole. The two parts are connected by a small chain with visible links, typical of old keychains.

The spring-type attachment ring shows wear consistent with an antique item, accentuating the vintage charm of this accessory. The surface of both medallions shows patination, traces of oxidation, and marks of age, testifying to actual use and natural aging.

The ensemble displays a very distinct retro aesthetic, with slightly faded colors and graphic details evoking advertising and souvenir items from the 1950s to the 1970s. The inscriptions and symbols are typical of French advertising productions from this period, especially for tourist or promotional keychains.

This advertising keychain, with its "Provence" crest, is suitable for daily use or for decorating a vintage key ring. It can also serve as an accent piece on a desk or shelf, thanks to its design evocative of Provence and the history of French advertising design.
