A substantial French Art Nouveau medal pendant, made in Paris c.1910 and crafted in 18K gold.The pendant is signed by the esteemed engraver and medalist ‘Lozane’ and depicts a classical female profile wearing a laurel wreath, representing La France; an allegorical embodiment of the French nation. Rather than a specific goddess, she belongs to the French medallic tradition of personifying national ideals through an idealised female figure: dignity, civic virtue and patriotic aspiration.The pendant was made and retailed by Maison Saudinos-Ritouret, and is struck with the French eagle-head hallmark for 18K gold, together with a maker’s mark and the signature of the engraver, Lozane.The reverse is beautifully finished with a starburst and leafy spray, leaving part of the surface plain and suitable for a personal inscription.The pendant measures approximately 2.7cm in diameter and weighs 8.92g, a particularly good weight for its size.Condition is very good, with light surface wear consistent with age; the portrait relief remains crisp, the reverse engraving is sharp, and the suspension loop is secure.A fine French Art Nouveau 18K gold medal pendant, combining Belle Époque national allegory, strong medallic modelling and a beautiful reverse.
