Description

DATE: Mid-Century, c.1947

This exceptional gold medallion was created by artist, sculptor, and internationally acclaimed medallist Paul Vincze. A slightly different take on the classic image of St. Christopher wading across the river with Jesus on his back- all skin in exposed. It features English hallmarks for 9k gold, dating it to the year 1947. Chain not included. 

Vincze was born in August 1907 in Hungary, studying at the State School of Arts and Crafts in Budapest and later under medallist Ede Telcs, who he described as “the greatest medallist of this generation”. He moved to London in the late 1930s, where he set up a studio, and went on to exhibit in many European capitals cities including Paris, Rome, Budapest, and London – winning awards at the 1951 International Exhibition, Madrid, the 1964 Paris Salon, and the first gold medal of the American Numismatic Association.
