Vintage Dupont Bank table medal, abstract relief, red case

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This table medal features a circular design in high relief, with a bronze metallic finish. The visible side is adorned with an abstract motif structured around a geometric raised center, composed of small superimposed cubes, from which radiating incised lines emanate. The whole creates a sculptural effect typical of the 1970s style. The inscription "banque dupont" is clearly engraved on the upper right part of the medal, while the signature "M. ROLLIN" appears discreetly on the left, probably indicating the name of the artist or medal engraver.

The medal is presented in its original case, covered with a red exterior and dark red velvet interior. The case has a hinge and a gold metallic clasp, visible on the lower part. The object is carefully housed in a round cutout, perfectly adapted to its shape and ensuring good protection.

The surface of the medal is distinguished by its contrasting textures: smooth parts, finely striated areas, and central cubic reliefs. The overall appearance evokes a commemorative or honorary piece made for Banque Dupont, typical of the prestigious medals offered by French banking institutions in the 20th century. No other text or decoration is visible on the presented side.

The geometric and abstract style of the central motif, associated with the modernist typography of the inscription, suggests a creation from the second half of the 20th century, probably around the 1970s-1980s. The entire piece is in good visual condition on the shown side, without apparent chips or major scratches, but there are some slight traces related to handling or age.
