Vintage Religious Medal Metal Libaude Chapel Old Church

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This antique religious medal, round in shape, is made of metal with a patinated finish. On the visible side, it features an embossed representation of a church, accompanied by the partially legible inscription "CHAPELLE DE LIBAUDE" on the upper perimeter. The architectural details of the building are finely engraved, highlighting the facade, columns, and spires, typical of representations of French Catholic chapels. The integrated upper ring allows it to be easily suspended from a chain or cord.

The medal displays a homogeneous patina, attesting to its age and authenticity. The surface presents dark and golden hues, with metallic reflections under the light. The circular rim is slightly raised, framing the central scene and emphasizing the relief work.

The general style of the medal, as well as the visible wear, suggest a production from the mid-20th century or earlier, characteristic of so-called "vintage" religious objects. No manufacturer's marking is visible on the observed side.

The object is presented here in an antique bronze-colored case, which is not included in the sale (unless otherwise indicated in the listing). The warm ambiance of the photo highlights the reflections and texture of the metal, as well as the historical character of the medal.

This religious medal can be worn as a pendant or kept as an object of piety or souvenir. It appeals to anyone interested in the history of places of worship, religious heritage, or antique devotional accessories.
