This bronze plaque, crafted by Arthus Bertrand and designed by Raymond Delamarre, commemorates the spirit of Paris with the enduring motto Fluctuat Nec Mergitur (“Tossed but not sunk”). Presented in its original fitted box with display stand, the piece reflects themes of resilience and liberty, echoing the ideals of the French Revolution. Delamarre’s artistry captures classical strength and symbolic depth, while Arthus Bertrand’s fine production highlights French medallic tradition. Elegant and historically resonant, the plaque stands as both a decorative object and a tribute to Paris’s identity as a city that withstands adversity while upholding freedom and endurance.
