This 1890 French Art Nouveau pendant is an 18K yellow gold medal charm from the French Chateau style. The gold piece displays a circular shape with a textured laurel wreath border surrounding a bas-relief sculpture depicting the Madonna and Child. Religious iconography includes the sacred figures holding a pair of devotional scapulars, encircled by the French inscription N. Dame du Mont Carmel. An integrated suspension loop connects to an oval jump ring at the top, completing the hardware. The item measures 1.9 cm high, 1.6 cm wide, and 0.1 cm deep, excluding the jump ring. In a modern interior, this pendant serves as a wearable piece of religious jewelry or can be displayed within a collection. The gold material catches the light through the engraved relief of the laurel leaves and the raised figures on the surface. Stamped markings on the metal include the eagle's head mark and an unknown maker's mark. The design highlights detailed metalwork characteristic of late nineteenth-century French manufacture, suitable for everyday wear on a suitable chain or as an heirloom addition to a personal trinket collection.

FAQs

Devotional medals gained widespread popularity in France during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, particularly through master engravers who executed detailed low-relief religious scenes in precious metals.

High-carat gold, including 18-carat yellow gold, silver, and bronze were standard materials, often finished with polished or textured borders to frame the central bas-relief.

Authentic pieces frequently bear French hallmarking symbols, such as the eagle head for 18-carat gold, along with maker marks or artist signatures engraved into the relief surface.

Devotional medals are commonly worn layered alongside fine contemporary gold chains or presented within framed velvet display cases as historical collectibles.

Clean gently using warm water, mild dish soap, and a soft-bristled brush to preserve embossed details without causing surface abrasion.
