Lot 679: 1953 Cannes Film Festival Medallion

ITEM DESCRIPTION

 
Reserve: $25.00
Winning Bid: $63.92
Price Realized: $76.38
Auction Date:9/10/2005 9:00 PM EST

Ultra rare bronze medal awarded at the 1953 edition of the prestigious film festival, the 6th ceremonies of the event that is today known as much for nubile starlets showing off their own golden globes. Thus, this 2" diameter bronze beauty dates back to a "purer" time when more obscure "art" films usually won the big prizes. Gorgeous bronze medal is engraved with "Festival International Du Film Amateur" on one side and a Cannes streetscape on the other. In the film world, an historical gem as good as gold. NRMT. Right up there with an Oscar, Emmy or Tony.
