AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Description of the object:
Beautiful and rare official bronze plaque from the French Committee of Expositions Abroad, engraved in 1899 by the renowned artist Louis-Alexandre Bottée (1852-1940).
This nominative specimen was officially attributed to the famous and historic wine trading house THOMAS-BASSOT FILS, owner of exceptional grands crus in the Côte de Nuits, notably in the prestigious communes of Gevrey-Chambertin and Nuits-Saint-Georges in Burgundy.
Particularities and technical features:
• Engraver: Louis Bottée (signed and dated L. Bottée - 99 on the obverse)
• Specificity: Rare manufacturing variant on a very thick flan (heavy strike). The plaque features a sturdy ingot-style edge in hand.
• Exact thickness: 3.18 mm (measured with a dial caliper, see photo)
• Exact weight: 69.34 g (on a precision balance, much heavier than the standard 49 g module)
• Dimensions: 64 mm x 43 mm
• Edge punch: Cornucopia (Monnaie de Paris) + inscription "BRONZE"
Condition: TTB (Very Very Beautiful). Magnificent original, uniform "chocolate" patina, sound metal with no oxidation or verdigris. Superb and sharp reliefs.
A magnificent piece of history, ideal for a numismatic collector or an enthusiast of Burgundy wine history and oenology.
