French antique religious metal plaques or medallions display card for travelling salesman. 
Velvet covered card.
Would look fantastic framed on a wall.
This specific card has 28 embossed metal medallions that are usually placed on another object such as a Holy water font or a wood plaque. Some have small holes to be nailed to a base.
Some of them are very unusual and not found often!
- Our Lady of the Sacred Heart
- Notre Dame de Benoite-Vaux (Benoite Vaux is a small pilgrimage place in the east of France, near Verdun)
- Our Lady of Chartres, of Boulogne, of La Salette and Our Lady of Laghet
- St Geneviève, patron of Paris
- more traditional representations of Mary, Jesus, Bernadette and Lourdes, St Therese and Lisieux.
- St Francois de Sales, Joanna Fransisca Chantal and Martin de Porres (from Peru)
Some medallions are signed. Some are in English or Spanish
Traces of time and use on the metal as can be seen in the photographs (dark spots, corrosion spots or green marks).
I have lightly dusted the cards as the medallions are just glued to the material. I didn't attempt any polishing.
The velvet has faded and is worn in places.
There is a label at the back that indicates this board was manufactured by J. Balme in Saumur. This company still exists but was founded in 1833. This is board number 15 and was placed in suitcase 3.
Very unusual object that would really look great in a box frame! I have several other cards in my shop so look at my other listings!
41.6 x 27 cm / 16.14 x 10.6 inches.
