AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This 45 rpm vinyl record features a vintage-style period cover on the front, illustrated with a black and white photograph of a woman in a 1920s-inspired outfit, evoking the spirit of the Charleston. The title "CHARLESTON" is displayed in large red letters on the upper left, while the mention "onésime grosbois et son piano d’occasion" is clearly visible at the top, indicating the main artist. The whole is published under the Barclay label, identifiable by the logo on the left. The reference 72212 M appears on the top edge, making it possible to authenticate this pressing. The cover shows visible signs of wear, including scuff marks and creases, attesting to its age and previous use.

The cover boasts an aesthetic typical of post-war French productions, with sober graphics and a layout centered on a photograph of the performer or a female model. The overall visual clearly draws inspiration from the world of Charleston, both in the typography used and in the iconographic choices (sleeveless dress, long necklace, headband, and long gloves). The mention of the Barclay label, an iconic record company, reinforces the authenticity of this record in the sphere of vintage vinyl.

Several titles are indicated on the upper part of the cover, including "Charleston Torpedo", "Bottines Vernies", "Mes Temps Grises", "La Canne Jong", suggesting that this 45 rpm contains several tracks in the Charleston or retro piano style, typical of the 1950s-1960s as reissues or pastiches of the Roaring Twenties.

The photograph highlights the cover placed on a carved wooden table, with a classic interior decor and stained glass windows in the background, reinforcing the antique character of the object. No detail of the vinyl record itself is visible in this image; only the front cover is clearly presented. The texture of the cover, with its reflections and marks, suggests a matte cardboard paper, without being able to confirm the exact material.
