Description from the seller
Michelin figure / Bibendum in cast iron – Rare variant with a unique gesture – Collectible piece (REPLICA)
Description:
Decorative figure inspired by Vivendum / Bibendum, the iconic advertising character of Michelin, made of solid cast iron, with a notable weight and strong visual presence. The piece features an unusual design, especially due to the position of the hand, with a unique gesture that departs from the classic and more well-known representations of the character. This detail makes it a particularly interesting variant for collectors of the Michelin universe and vintage advertising. Due to its modeling style, finish, and lack of official marks, it is a decorative replica, not an original advertising figure produced by Michelin. However, the use of cast iron and its considerable weight place it above typical lightweight reproductions. The surface shows wear and paint loss consistent with decorative use and the vintage aesthetic sought. Ideal for Michelin-themed collections, industrial decor, offices, garages, or shop windows. The photographs are an essential part of the description.
