Antique "London Football Association" Gold Soccer Medallion

Few items come across our desk that we’ve never seen before, and a solid gold football (soccer) medal is one of them. This striking medallion arrived in the condition you see here, but we suspect it was initially suspended on a piece of velvet and pinned to a lapel. In its current form, this gold medallion can be worn on a chain to create a beautiful, vintage-style necklace.

The piece is made of 15k yellow gold and features British hallmarks, which confirm its British origin, in addition to the “London Football Association” mark. One side of the medal features a decorative border, while the other displays the emblem of the London Football Association, the governing body for all football clubs in central London. This emblem includes two dragons flanking a shield and the “Challenge Cup” banner, a historic tournament featuring London club teams. 

The hallmark indicates that this piece was made in 1926, the same year Chelsea FC won the cup. Own a piece of British football and Chelsea Club history with this beautiful pendant, which can be easily worn by both men and women!
