Antique French Art Nouveau 18K Gold Warrior Profile Medallion Pendant – Attributed to Charles Édouard Fraisse (1880–1945)

An exceptional French Art Nouveau 18K gold medal pendant, attributed to the celebrated French sculptor and medallist Charles Édouard Fraisse (1880–1945).

Beautifully sculpted in high relief, the pendant depicts a noble classical warrior profile framed by graceful botanical motifs—a timeless design that perfectly captures the elegance and artistic refinement of the French Art Nouveau period. Every angle reveals the sculptural quality and soft flowing lines characteristic of Fraisse's work.

The reverse is equally appealing, featuring an exquisitely hand-engraved artistic monogram, appearing to read "AB" or "AP," suggesting that this medal was once commissioned as a treasured personal keepsake. Pieces retaining original period engraving often possess a unique charm that cannot be replicated.

Unlike mass-produced jewelry, antique French artistic medals of this caliber were created in limited numbers and have become increasingly scarce on today's market. Fine examples attributed to Charles Édouard Fraisse are especially sought after by collectors of French medals, Art Nouveau jewelry, and museum-quality antique gold.
