Arthus-Bertrand Paris - Skulptur, Authentic Cannes Lion - 17.5 cm - Bronze - 2011

Authentic Cannes Lions 2011 Bronze Media Lion – Arthus-Bertrand - Paris

A rare and highly collectible original Bronze Media Lion trophy, awarded at the prestigious Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity in 2011 for the acclaimed “Fashiontag” campaign.

The trophy itself is a substantial solid bronze Cannes Lion, weighing approximately 2.75 kg. The characteristic roaring lion is depicted stepping forward through the circular form inspired by a film reel, reflecting the festival's origins in the world of cinema.

The trophy bears the craftsmanship of Arthus-Bertrand Paris, one of France's most distinguished medal and ceremonial-object makers. Founded in Paris in 1803, the historic house has produced prestigious medals, decorations and works of art for more than two centuries. The plaque is signed “Arthus-Bertrand Paris” on the reverse.

For collectors of advertising history, graphic design, contemporary culture and major international creative awards, this is a particularly interesting example: not merely a trophy, but a tangible piece of the early social-media advertising era and a documented Cannes Lions-winning campaign.

A substantial, beautifully crafted and highly unusual collector's piece with excellent display presence.
