Jeux Revisités/ Monumental Trophy/ This impressive silver-plated Classic Cup deserves a second life. On a low, silver-plated base embellished with stylized roses, the antique chariot rubs shoulders with the discobolus and torchbearer, symbols that already justify the Olympic dimension. The six golden griffins, which will be found between the dome's sports scenes, can be seen on the narrowing from which the dome will rise. The silver dome, with its round golden interior and defense by six golden griffins, is a jewel into which you could slip a dozen magnums to chill to celebrate a great victory... A success necessarily achieved in one of the six great disciplines, which run here: tennis, soccer, boxing, skiing, cycling or the automobile... Yes, the artist knew that the automobile had been integrated into the vast program of the 1900 Games... Total height 103.5, plus 15 cm stone base. Diameter of large upper dome: 49cm6 and circular base 42cm.
