This Art Deco sterling silver medallion pendant is a pocket-sized collectible object shaped as a round silver medal with decorative scrollwork mouldings at the top and bottom, set inside a fitted green velvet-lined storage box with a brass hinge and suspension ring. The central circular disc displays an embossed motif of a footballer running with a football, rendered in a polished silver finish that contrasts with the surrounding silver border. The piece shows a light surface patina from age and minimal wear. Measuring 4.1 cm by 2.4 cm including the ring and 3.5 cm by 2.4 cm excluding the ring with a weight of 7.4 grams, the medallion makes a portable decorative accessory for a gentleman's library display case or a cabinet of curiosities. It can be showcased upright within its original green box or hung from a chain as wearable vintage jewellery.

FAQs

Popular during the early 20th century, silver sports medals were presented as awards for tournaments and athletic competitions, frequently styled with decorative scrollwork and worn on watch chains or as pendants.

These medallions were typically struck from solid sterling silver, often featuring embossed or raised repousse relief figures and occasionally hallmarked with maker and date marks.

Authentic pieces generally feature British hallmarks indicating the silver purity, assay town mark, and date letter, along with characteristic period engraving or relief depicting athletes in era-appropriate attire.

While originally attached to pocket watch chains, these medallions are frequently worn as unique neck pendant charms on contemporary silver chains or added to charm bracelets.

Clean gently using a soft, lint-free cloth and mild silver polish, taking care to avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could wear down delicate embossed details or historic hallmarks.
