Product description
This bronze medal was designed by the French sculptor André Massoule. The object stands out due to the refined relief rendering of a classical female figure, surrounded by agricultural and artistic symbolism, which is typical of academic medal art from the late nineteenth century.
The medal is crafted from solid bronze and has a diameter of approximately 5 centimeters. On the obverse, the work is signed by A. Massoule and bears the name of the publisher, A. Desaide. The reverse displays a detailed oak and laurel wreath with the inscription 'Société d'Agriculture de l'Arrt de Charolles', struck by the renowned Parisian maker Arthus Bertrand. The rim features a hallmark confirming the material's authenticity. The gold-colored finish gives the piece a warm appearance.
The object is in good condition commensurate with its age. The original details in the relief have been sharply preserved, while the bronze has developed an authentic and light patina over the years. Such a historical collectible comes into its own perfectly in a display cabinet or on a desk. It forms a subtle yet striking detail within a classic or eclectic interior, ideal for lovers of numismatics and French sculpture.
