Jdcag5775 Valued Member United States 52 Posts	Posted 02/04/2023 3:40 pm I have 3 French art medals from famous engravers at the turn of the century, including Daniel Dupuis. Each are numbered out of a certain amount made. A few of each were sterling and the majority of each were Bronze, my numbers aren't accurate, but I know the silver ones are rarer. Does anyone know enough about these to help me with them or know where I can go? Info on these are very diluted, and most are for the bronze versions. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 02/04/2023 8:02 pm @jdc, you might also reach out to the French Auction House, cgb.fr. I see that they have a 2019 listing on a bronze version of your piece labeled "autoportrait". At the very least, they might suggest a catalog of art nouveau medals for your to perform your own research. Here is the link to that auction: https://www.cgb.fr/art-nouveau-meda...24268,a.html "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff
Jdcag5775 Valued Member United States 52 Posts	Posted 02/05/2023 09:37 am Thanks. That's all I ever find is auction sites with the bronze ones. I've reached out, but don't get many responses. If I do, they will gladly research it if I consign it for auction. Not much help. Edited by Jdcag5775 02/05/2023 09:38 am Report this Post to the Staff
