Vintage retro Majorette toy car mouse purple hat collection decor

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This listing is for a vintage-style Majorette miniature car, shown here with a mouse character wearing a purple hat. The item, visible in the photo, features a retro-looking body, primarily in shades of purple, black, and yellow, with light-colored wheels. The top of the vehicle has stylized yellow patterns and the inscription "Souris" (Mouse) clearly legible on the side, contributing to the authenticity and retro charm of the piece.

The character, an anthropomorphic mouse, is securely attached to the car, wearing a large flat-brimmed purple hat and seated in a sitting posture. The painted details of the face and hat are visible, with some signs of wear and patina, typical of old toys. The body shows several scratches, paint chips, and alterations, particularly on the edges and the top of the hat, indicative of past use and accentuating the vintage appearance.

The assembly rests on four visible wheels. The overall design evokes Majorette productions from past decades, with a playful and colorful aesthetic, characteristic of European toys from the mid-20th century. In the photo, the car is accompanied by a small metallic decorative mouse-shaped object, silver and shiny, placed nearby but distinct from the main car.

The photographed scene highlights the car against a backdrop of an old library, which accentuates its retro appeal and decorative potential. The object's proportions are compact, ideal for display in a showcase or as shelf decoration, without a quantified estimate.

Condition

Used item sold as is. Visible paint wear, rub marks, noticeable patina on the hat and body. Details remain clearly legible despite the marks of time.
