This antique French pendant medal from 1900 takes the form of a circular 18 carat yellow gold charm in the French Art Nouveau style, rendered in warm gold tones. The relief decoration depicts a profile of a praying angel with clasped hands, textured hair, feathered wings, and a halo, complemented by a top suspension loop and a soldered jump ring. Surface wear is visible across the textured relief fields, along with minor tarnishing on the hardware. Measuring 2.2 cm high, 1.8 cm wide, and 0.1 cm deep, this piece serves as a traditional religious medal for personal wear on a chain or as a collector's item of devotional jewellery.

FAQs

French religious medals, crafted in high-purity gold, gained widespread popularity during the 19th and early 20th centuries as devotional tokens, baptismal gifts, and protective talismans depicting sacred imagery.

High-karat gold, particularly 18 carat gold (750 purity), was the standard material, often die-struck to produce detailed low-relief figures with textured or polished surfaces.

Authenticity is verified through French hallmarking standards, such as the eagles head mark indicating 18 carat gold, along with makers marks or die-sinker signatures near the edge.

These pendants are commonly styled by layering them with modern fine gold chains or attaching them to contemporary charm bracelets to contrast historic motifs with modern styling.

Clean the metal using warm soapy water and a soft brush, avoiding abrasive chemical cleaners, and store the piece separately in a fabric pouch to prevent surface scratching.
