Vintage Paris Arc de Triomphe Eiffel Tower Enamel Keychain Retro Souvenir

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This vintage retro-style keyring is a genuine Parisian tourist souvenir, featuring two iconic monuments: the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe. The medal is shaped like an open book, divided into two distinct panels. On the left side, a green background highlights the silhouette of the Eiffel Tower accompanied by the inscription "PARIS" in gold letters. On the right side, a deep blue background features the inscription "ARC DE TRIOMPHE" and a raised, gold-colored representation of the Arc de Triomphe.

The surface of the medal has a golden metallic appearance, embellished with green and blue enameled parts that add a colorful touch typical of Parisian souvenirs from past decades. The keyring ring and chain show a patinated metallic finish, consistent with antique use. The outline of the medallion is subtly embossed, reminiscent of the spine of an open book, a detail that gives the whole a refined and elaborate look.

The visible side does not show an apparent manufacturer's mark, but the quality of the enamel and the graphic style are characteristic of souvenirs produced in Paris in the second half of the 20th century. The letters and motifs are in relief, offering a textured feel and a three-dimensional visual effect. The item is presented in an antique sculpted decorative case, but only the keyring medal is part of the sale as shown in the photo.

The keyring stands out for its retro graphics, the presence of two distinct enameled colors, and the faithful representation of Parisian monuments. It is an authentic souvenir, ideal for daily use or as a decoration on a set of keys, a bag, or a display case dedicated to Parisian objects.

Condition

Used item sold as is. The visible side shows an authentic patina, some slight signs of wear on the metal and enamel, with no major apparent chips. The overall item is in good visual condition for an object of this era.

Did you know? The tradition of souvenir keyrings became popular in France in the 1950s, with flourishing production centered around major Parisian monuments.
