Art Deco Bronze Medal – Winged Victory & Classical Profile
Beautifully designed Art Deco bronze medal, likely of French or Belgian origin, featuring a striking neoclassical composition. Though unsigned, the artistic style is reminiscent of works by Pierre Turin, Raymond Delamarre, or other mid-20th century French medalists associated with the Monnaie de Paris (Paris Mint).
Obverse: Features a serene classical male profile, reminiscent of ancient Greek sculpture. In the foreground stands a detailed winged
Victory figure (Nike), elevated in the subject’s open hand — a powerful symbol of triumph guided by intellect or vision. Art Deco style with strong lines and minimalist elegance.
Reverse: Smooth, uninscribed reverse — likely intended for engraving, though this example is blank.
Specifications:
Diameter: 27 mm (1 inch)
Weight: 7 grams (0.24 oz)
Finish: Matte brown patina
This compact yet striking medal would make a fine addition to any collection of French medals, Art Deco design, or classical revival art.
