Antique communion medal with a circular design in gilt silver, decorated with religious motifs: a chalice and host in central relief, surrounded by engraved ears of wheat and flowers. The delicate openwork border, similar to lace, is typical of early 20th-century work. The reverse is plain.
The piece, possibly French or Italian, represents the Eucharist in a symbolic and stylized way, common in communion medals or liturgical souvenirs between 1920 and 1940. It is a refined example of Art Nouveau devotion and religious design.
Ideal for collectors of antique religious medals, to wear as an individual pendant or to incorporate into symbolic compositions.

What you are buying (important)
We sell antique and vintage items. These are not new or recently manufactured products. Due to their age and previous use, they may show signs of wear, marks, scratches, minor losses, or variations inherent to the passage of time. These characteristics are part of their nature and are not considered defects. We recommend carefully reviewing the photographs, as they show the actual condition of the piece. If you need to confirm a specific detail before purchasing, please contact us.
Photos and color
The photographs are taken under artificial light. For this reason, the color may vary slightly depending on your screen and lighting. If color is critical for you, we can send you additional photos taken in natural light to get as close as possible to the actual color.
Patina and cleaning
Many pieces develop a patina over time. We don't remove it, as it's a natural process that can take decades to form and, in many cases, contributes to the piece's aesthetic value and character.
If you decide to clean or polish, do so carefully and with the material in mind. The buyer should make this decision, as cleaning can affect the appearance, authenticity, and, in some cases, the value. If you need cleaning instructions based on the material, please contact us and we'll guide you.
