France, La Sayoyarde, uniface bronze plaquette by Favre-Bertin, 1939, 59 x 49mm (CGMP p. 178). Almost extremely fine but cleaned in the past and lacquered (£30-40)

Ch-Maurice Favre-Bertin (1887-1960), sculptor. CGMP only records two examples of his work and it would appear he was not a prolific medallist, something of a shame as to judge from the present piece — a fine Art Deco study — he was a gifted medallist.
