A beautifully understated French Art Nouveau Madonna medal, rendered in warm 18K yellow gold with a softly sculpted profile of the Virgin in serene side view. The design reflects the period’s preference for flowing, naturalistic lines and quiet devotion rather than ornate embellishment, giving the piece a timeless, almost meditative presence.
The reverse bears a personal inscription dated 1924, adding a layer of history that speaks to its original sentimental purpose. French eagle head hallmark on the bail ring confirms 18K gold purity, a standard of quality associated with early 20th century French craftsmanship.
Offered in original finish, with visible wear and a small edge dent consistent with age. The engraving can be polished out if desired, though it currently adds to the medal’s authenticity and story.
