Antique French Cherub Cradle Medal, P.L. Dasset Bronze Guardian Angel Medallion, Raphael Putto Nursery Protection Plaque
A beautiful antique French médaille de berceau — a traditional cradle medal made to hang near a baby’s crib as a devotional symbol of protection and blessing.
The front features a raised relief of a thoughtful winged cherub / putto, inspired by the famous angel from Raphael’s Sistine Madonna. The soft expression, detailed hair, folded arms, and dark aged patina give this piece a deeply charming old-world character.
The medal is signed P.L. Dasset on the edge, referring to Marie-Louis-Paul Dasset, a French Parisian medallist. A matching Numista reference lists this cradle medal type as French, bronze, 60 mm in diameter, with the “BD” monogram on the front and “P.L. DASSET” on the reverse/edge.
This type of large religious medal was traditionally used in France as a crib / cradle protection medal, often hung above a child’s bed, nursery wall, or prayer corner. Today it is a meaningful collectible for lovers of antique French religious art, Catholic devotional objects, cherub imagery, bronze medals, and nursery keepsakes.
The surface shows a beautiful dark patina with traces of old gilding or bronze-tone finish. There is visible age-related wear, especially to the gilded areas, which adds authenticity and antique charm.
