Overview:
Elaborate antique Art Deco era medallion (circa 1906-7) crafted in 9 karat rose gold.
The beautifully detailed medallion dates to 1920-21, designed with a football motif to commemorate the season (given the shape of the ball we believe the sport is Rugby). Medallions were popular around the 1900s along with watch chains and fobs. The medallion/pendant is in very good condition with patina evident. Great for wear on a chain with a larger 5mm bale that can accommodate a thicker chain if desired. The back of the pendant is engraved "K.R.U.F.C 1920-21"
We have not cleaned the piece in order to preserve the patina and collector value.
Specifications:
Weight: 7.6 grams
Stones: N/A
Size & Measurements: The pendant measures 1 1/2 inches in length (including the bale) and is 3/4 inch wide.
Metal & Hallmark: 9 karat rose gold. The pendant is hallmarked with the Makers Mark "C&F Ld" followed by "9" and "375" for 9k gold followed by the Mark of Origin for Birmingham (anchor on its side). The final hallmark is the Date Letter sequence for the year of production (1920 - letter V)
