1913 J. Pierpont Morgan Memorial Plaque, Silver, 90 mm x 74 mm (without frame), by Emil Fuchs, Miller-30, Mint State, housed in a mahogany Tiffany & Co. frame.The frame measures 120 mm x 104 mm, both sides with glass protecting the plaque. Several hazy spots in the glass cast shadows on the plaque, although the surfaces of the medal are smooth apart from swirls of light encrustation within and around the legs of the male figure on the reverse. The top of the frame is marked TIFFANY & CO., the bottom MAHOGANY. The wood retains good color and is free of significant blemishes apart from a thin scuff along the wood below the front of the plaque. Lovely antique silver surfaces for this rare medal type with just 100 examples struck in silver to commemorate the recently deceased financier and ANS life member, in recognition of his influence on American art development.From the Collection of Duncan Denny, 1927-2018.
