Maurice Delannoy La Grace Art Deco silvered metal medal on bakelite

I love this plaque which makes a great pair with the other one that is on the site.
The round silvered metal medal is by Maurice Delannoy.
It depicts a woman in profile in the foreground with a gazelle behind.
The medal is signed "M Delannoy." & is fastened to a rectangular chestnut coloured bakelite plaque.
The words "La Grace" & "Edite par La Gerbe d'Or Paris" are embossed below the medal.
The bakelite plaque has a triangular metal hook on the rear to enable it to be hung on the wall.

La Gerbe d'Or was a Parisian jewellery shop & I think that they gave this plaque as a promotion gift.
