The reverse bears an engraved inscription and a sheaf of lilies motif tied with a ribbon. The medal measures 1.9 cm high, 1.5 cm wide and 0.1 cm deep, excluding the ring. Pendant wearers typically hang this piece from a gold neck chain for daily personal adornment.

FAQs

Saint Christopher is traditionally venerated as the patron saint of travellers, protecting individuals on journeys. During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, French medalists refined relief sculpting, creating wearable devotional medallions that served as protective talismans and fine wearable art.

French medals from this era were struck in solid 18ct gold or silver using high-precision steel dies to achieve delicate bas-relief detailing. Artisans frequently applied satin or matte finishes to highlight the contours of the carved figures.

Authentic French pieces feature official hallmarks such as the eagle head mark indicating 18ct gold, alongside maker marks on the loop or rim. Fine hand-engraved details and signatures near the border, such as those by maker Rasumny, further verify period provenance.

An antique gold medallion translates effortlessly into contemporary attire when suspended from a fine gold chain or layered alongside modern necklaces. Its classic circular shape and warm metal tone make it suitable for both everyday wear and formal ensembles.

Clean solid 18ct gold using lukewarm water, mild soap, and a soft-bristled brush to remove dust from intricate relief carvings. Avoid abrasive chemical cleansers and store the item in a soft fabric pouch to avoid surface scratching.
