£5,075 (€6,000): this little medallion, measuring 5.8cm across, was made by the enamellist Pierre Reymond in Limoges in the mid-16th century, when the south-western French city was at the height of its fame for its fine enamel productions. It was probably worn as an enseigne de chapeau or hat decoration. The enamel on copper depicts the Biblical scene of Samson carrying away the gates of Gaza. When converted to sterling, it just scrapes in at a touch over our price limit at £5,075 —but there may be a deal to be done with Works of Art gallery from Belgium, which is exhibiting the piece.
