Thank you for taking an interest in my item among many others. If you are considering purchasing, please take the trouble to read my profile. Among antique medals, there are many with clearly identified artists, and it is no exaggeration to say that France has many excellent sculptors among the representative medal sculptors. Among medal artists, there are several who are traded at particularly high prices, and I believe Tricard is one of the most representative. Famous medal artists often sign their medals, and this one also has a discreet signature in an inconspicuous place, as seen in the last photo. Famous medal artists may also express their authorship through their motifs or characteristic ways of depicting the halos of saints. Tricard had a characteristic of depicting a wreath of roses on the back of the medal. This one also has an elegant wreath of roses depicted on the back. Many of Tricard's medals have the rose portion worn down, but this one retains its delicate details as if it were new. While medals of Saint Cecilia have been made by many artists, they often depict her playing musical instruments as the patron saint of music, and this Cecilia by Tricard also depicts her playing the organ. The material is an alloy containing silver, with gold vermeil applied. Tricard's medals are rare and highly sought after, and gold-colored ones are particularly unusual and rare. How about it for those who are looking for one? I am also listing other antique medals of Cecilia. This listing is for the medal only; the chain is not included. The medal is a small item, like a pendant top, but I have taken close-up photos to make the intricate carvings easier to see. I understand it may be difficult to grasp the actual size, so please refer to the ruler markings or a 1-yen coin in the images. I have been collecting medals for a long time, receiving them from people or buying them while traveling, and have accumulated many. Therefore, I am gradually listing them to organize my collection. As it is an antique, it is a very old item. For those who understand the charm and nature of old items. It will be shipped by Nekoposu. Color: Gold-toned Material: SV925
