In honor of the Year of the Snake, Rumnicoin is highlighting five exceptional lots featuring snake motifs in our upcoming auction. The first is Lot 53, a striking 1932 Art Deco medallion by Maurice Delannoy, a masterpiece of medallic art. ✨

A true icon of Art Deco medallic art, this stunning medallion by Maurice Delannoy captures the elegance and harmony of nature. Featuring a graceful female figure surrounded by intricately arranged birds, animals, and plants, it embodies Delannoy’s signature style—where balance, form, and modernist aesthetics take precedence over detail.

Delannoy, a self-taught medalist, was known for his sculptural relief work and architectural composition, earning accolades at the Salon des Artistes Français. His artistry is evident in this piece, where each animal—Leopard, Ram, Ostrich, Antelope, Fox, Swan, Bird of Paradise, Turtle, and Snake—is carefully placed to create a harmonious design.
