This antique French pendant medal from 1910 consists of 18 karat yellow gold with a polished yellow gold finish. The circular form displays a bas-relief portrait of a cherub or angel head, surrounded by an outer border of raised ball studs and detailed scroll work on the suspension bail alongside an engraver signature relief. Surface wear appears across the metal alongside subtle scuffs and natural ageing. The piece measures 2.2 cm high, 1.8 cm wide, and 0.1 cm deep, excluding the jump ring. Wearers suspend the pendant from chains for personal adornment, or collectors incorporate it into traditional charm bracelet displays within residential interiors.

FAQs

French gold medals depicting cherubs or guardian angels gained widespread popularity during the 19th and early 20th centuries. They were traditionally gifted as baptismal, communion, or devotional tokens and were frequently crafted by renowned French medal engravers.

French antique medals were predominantly struck in solid 18-carat yellow gold, featuring die-struck bas-relief imagery, beaded edge borders, and soldered suspension loops for wearing on chains.

Authentic French pieces feature official French hallmark stamps, such as the eagles head mark indicating 18-carat gold, along with makers marks and the artists engraved signature within the medal relief.

An antique gold medal pendant can be worn individually on a simple fine chain for a minimalist look or stacked with contemporary charms and textured chains for a layered aesthetic.

Clean the medal using warm water, mild dish soap, and a soft microfibre cloth or soft-bristled brush. Store the piece individually in a lined jewellery pouch to prevent scratching against other metals.
