THE COLLECTION OF MEDALS OF MUSICIANS

formed by Paul Niggl

The collection of medals offered for sale represents the majority of the pieces from the collection formed by Paul Niggl and which formed the basis of his book, Musiker Medaillen, Darmstadt, 1965, to which reference has been made throughout the text. Following Niggl's death the collection remained intact until offered for sale as a single lot by Spink & Son [14 July 1998, lot 403]. Since then some pieces have been removed and sold, but essentially the collection is as it was published in 1965. In Musiker Medaillen the medals are in a simple alphabetical list and for those who merited a number of medals, the selection is alphabetical by the artist. However to arrange the collection sensibly for auction the medals have been sorted country by country, then alphabetical, and then by date. A quick glance at the illustrations will demonstrate the strength of the collection and beauty of some of the pieces offered. The cataloguers know of no other collection of such size and range and the sale offers a unique opportunity to collectors.
