Vintage metal advertising bird keychain, bronze finish, 70s

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Old promotional keyring, made of metal with a bronze finish, depicting a stylized bird in full flight. The shape of the bird is well-defined, with a fanned tail and an open beak, detailing the plumage and posture of the animal. The whole piece has a beautiful patina, typical of 70s objects, with golden/bronze reflections visible over the entire surface of the pendant.

The keyring consists of a thick link chain, connected to an oval medal on which a partially legible inscription can be distinguished (embossed letters, retro style, difficult to fully decipher in the photo). This medal precedes the bird's attachment, giving the whole a dynamic and vintage visual effect.

The visible part of the chain has a robust structure, with a rectangular main link with multiple attachments. The bird, with a massive appearance, is worked in relief, with a texture suggesting plumage on its wings and tail. The details of the beak and eye are well-marked, reinforcing the decorative aspect of this promotional keyring.

The dominant color is an aged bronze, with some lighter areas due to the natural wear of the metal. No chips or breaks are visible on the side shown. The piece evokes the promotional creations of past decades, with a strong retro aesthetic and a mixed use between utilitarian object and decorative accessory.

This vintage bird motif keyring stands out for its metallic finish and evocative design, typical of corporate promotions or event souvenirs from the 70s-80s. The robust attachment allows it to be used for keys as well as a bag accessory.
