Antique football-themed medal, made of solid silver and dating from around 1920, belonging to the Modernist movement. It depicts two male figures practicing sports, surrounded by an engraved floral frame, and is in excellent condition for its age.
The piece, likely of European origin, features a football scene in high relief against an architectural background, marked by a central rhombus. The reverse includes a vegetal decoration with oak leaves and a space reserved for an inscription. The medal retains its original ring for hanging or wearing as a pendant.
During the 1920s, sport became a social and cultural phenomenon in Europe, especially football, which established itself as a mass spectacle. These types of medals were common in school tournaments and local competitions, reflecting the decorative aesthetic of the modernist era, which combined organic forms with functionality.
A perfect piece for collectors of vintage sports medals, fans of historical American football, or as an accessory with character and symbolism.

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.
