AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description
This old religious medal stands out with its rounded triangular shape, uncommon in Christian iconography. The visible side features an enameled decoration in royal blue and turquoise tones, with a textured and deep effect typical of hand-worked enamel. In the center, a circular turquoise blue motif suggests a religious figure, although the details are faded by time. The royal blue surround is highlighted by visible golden touches, which enhance the antique and sacred aspect of the object.

The pendant features an original spiral bail, directly integrated into the mounting, which indicates artisanal craftsmanship. The overall appearance of the medal suggests a vintage style, likely from the mid-20th century, with no precise marking visible on the shown side. The enamel finish shows nuances and irregularities characteristic of manual work, reinforcing the authenticity of the piece.

The main colors are royal blue, turquoise, and some visible golden accents on the border. The surface shows some traces of wear and micro-scratches, signs of previous use, which contribute to the charm of this vintage religious jewel. No legible text or inscription appears on the photographed side.

The object is presented on an old fabric background and near a carved wooden box, which highlights its retro aesthetic and emphasizes its use as a pendant or medal to wear or display. The bail allows for easy suspension on a chain or ribbon.

Condition
Used item, sold as is. Good overall condition for its age, with visible wear to the enameled surface and some signs of time on the golden parts. The enamel remains generally well preserved, with no major visible chips on the visible side.

Did you know? Enameled religious medals were very popular in France in the 20th century, especially in the 1950s-1970s, for their wear resistance and rich colors. Enamel is an ancient technique that involves depositing colored glass powder on a metal base, then firing it at high temperature to obtain a smooth and shiny surface.
