Satyr and Fire

A quirky and unusual medal from the 1920s or 30s, this piece will interest collectors of decorative sculpture with an Art Deco or architectural flair. It depicts a crouched satyr marveling over a fire on the ground and a lamp hung on a tree. An interesting example of an industry-sponsored medal, this piece was issued by a French utility producing electricity and natural gas, and was awarded to employees with 25 years of service. The reverse side of the medal depicts an energy-generation plant laced with high-powered electrical lines. Dropsy was known for his allegorical sculptures, such as "Electricity" and "Winter," and was named a Chevalier of the Legion D'Honneur.
