ART NOUVEAU, ART DECO and others

19th and 20th century medals

February 2010. Please note that medals are offered subject to being unsold - but we may occasionally have duplicates!

Please click on images or underlined text for larger photos - thumbnails are not in proportion to size so please take that into consideration . Medals are of date contemporary with original design and French, unless described otherwise. Imperfections are noted but medals are in general extremely fine condition. The winter sun has the habit of producing yellowish light which makes the silver look a little tarnished and the bronzes lighter than actuality - please take this into account. Some of the medals have impaired patinas but are scarce - they all came from the same source and are indicated as such with prices adjusted to take into account their condition.
