"Brother Against Brother, " Rare Art Deco Silver Medal/Sculptural Piece by De Lue
About the Item
A brilliant and rare example of late Art Deco sculpture struck in solid silver, this medal was designed by Donald De Lue in 1965 as part of the larger New York University Hall of Fame for Great Americans Series. On one side it depicts two nude horsemen on rearing steeds, raising their swords against each other -- representing the North and South during the Civil War. Below the hooves of the horses, a sunburst and broken chain is shown, indicating the end of slavery. The other side is a relief portrait of Robert E. Lee. New York University worked with several other entities -- including the National Sculpture Society, the Medallic Art Company, and the Coin and Currency Institute to sponsor and market a total of 96 medals sculpted by some of the leading artists of the day. Silver medals by De Lue are among the most scarce and desirable.
