Antique "London Football Association" Gold Soccer Medallion

Few items come across our desk that we’ve never seen before- but a solid gold football (soccer) medal is one of them. This striking medallion came to us 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 for a beautiful, vintage gold necklace. The piece is cast in 15k yellow gold with British hallmarks, additional proof of British origin if “London Football Association” wasn’t enough! One side has a decorative border, while the other has an emblem of the London Football Association - the body overseeing all football (soccer) clubs in central London- with two dragons flanking a shield. Underneath that is the “Challenge Cup,” a historical tournament of the London club teams. The hallmark tells us this was made in 1926 when Chelsea FC won the cup. Own a piece of British Football and Chelsea Club history with this beautiful pendant - easily worn by men or women alike!
