Enormous wreath or symbolic crown of artificial oak leaves with acorns and gold ornaments, with wide ribbons embroidered with the inscription "La Société Royale d’Harmonie d’Anvers à Charles Gounod, Témoignage d’admiration" and the date of 1879, framed with a printed card and original event ribbons under glass in its original massive black wood frame (diameter 48 cm, 65 x 65 cm) as presented to and owned by the composer himself. Numerous chips to the frame, unexamined out of frame, but quite visually striking indeed.
