Vintage retro antique King of Spades keyring, playing card advertisement

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

This antique keychain features a playing card, the King of Spades, inserted under a transparent surface with a slightly frosted appearance. The illustration, in traditional French style, is perfectly centered and well-preserved, with vivid colors: red, blue, golden yellow, and black dominate the composition. The card displays the "R" and spade symbol in the corners, typical of classic card games.

The keychain consists of a rectangular pendant with rounded corners, traversed by a patinated golden metal ring, connected to a chain and a main ring, also metallic. The ensemble has a retro look that evokes promotional items from the 60s to 80s, with no brand visible on the displayed side.

The King of Spades print is distinguished by its details: a yellow scepter, a cape decorated with star patterns, and stylized floral ornaments. The background of the card remains white, contrasting with the beige border of the frame. The transparent surface shows some signs of use, typical of a pre-owned item that has stood the test of time.

This promotional keychain leverages card game iconography, a popular theme in vintage promotional accessories. Its flat shape and the choice of the King of Spades give it a touch of retro elegance, ideal for lovers of classic graphic design.

The visible attachment mechanism consists of a small-link chain and a simple ring, suitable for daily use on a keyring or bag. The ensemble exudes the charm of utilitarian objects from past decades, with a finish that evokes robustness and advertising whimsy.

Condition: Used item. On the visible side, some traces of wear and a slight patina are observable, with no major apparent defects. Sold as is.
