Vintage Art Deco Limited Edition Ski Medal, bronze look, winter sport
AFW - Antique France Worldwide
Description
This vintage ski medal features a rectangular shape with sharp angles, typical of an Art Deco style. It is made with a bronze or patinated brass-like finish, and on its main face, it displays a central relief representing a skier in motion, stylized within a circle. The geometric background decor, composed of superimposed lines and angles, reinforces the Art Deco aesthetic and suggests a creation from the 1930s to the 1950s, though no precise date is visible.
The medallion has a solid suspension ring at the top, suitable for use as a pendant or for hanging on a ribbon. Its surface shows an old patina, with brown and coppery reflections, typical of old metal objects with natural oxidation. No text or manufacturer's mark is legible on the visible face, giving way to the elegance of the sports motif.
The dynamic relief of the skier is finely crafted: the stylized figure stands out clearly against the circular background, while the architectural elements around the edge evoke the decorative codes of major 20th-century sports competitions. The object is presented on a mustard yellow cushion, which highlights the warm hue and matte texture of the metal.
Condition
Used item, sold as is. The medal shows signs of wear from use, including a uniform patina, some micro-scratches, and possible handling marks. The suspension ring is intact. The details of the relief remain clearly legible, and the overall piece retains a beautiful decorative presence.
