Antique Bronze Rowing Medal By Pinches London - Regatta Prize 25.7mm 6.8g. BB14 For your consideration is a finely detailed bronze prize medal struck by the prestigious John Pinches of London.
This piece features a beautifully rendered scene of a lone oarsman
watching a rowing crew on the water, likely intended as an award for a
local or collegiate regatta.
The obverse presents a contemplative, high-relief scene that is a masterclass in Sporting Realism with early Art Deco sensibilities.
- Imagery:
A lone figure in rowing kit stands on the riverbank, leaning on an
upright oar. In the background, a rowing shell with six oarsmen is expertly rendered in lower relief to create a sense of
distance and "atmospheric perspective."
- Art Style: Interwar Modernism.
The design utilizes clean, muscular lines for the central figure and a
structured, balanced composition. The treatment of the water and the
distant riverbank shows the transition from late Victorian detail to the
more streamlined, geometric clarity of the 1930s.
- Material: Solid Bronze with a warm, natural aged patina.
- Weight: 6.8g.
- Diameter: 25.7mm
- Reverse: Smooth and blank. Being unengraved, it is an ideal "unawarded" specimen, highly valued by collectors for its clean surfaces.
