Biographical history
The medallist Antoine Vechte was a French silversmith, active also in England (London), where he moved to after the Revolution in 1848. He specialised in the Renaissance style. In London he joined Hunt & Roskell. He made virtuoso repoussé work and with that had considerable influence in England, especially as his silver work was reproduced with the Electrotype technique. He retired to France in 1861.
