the Pulitzer, the Peabody, and the Medal
of Honor – our customers can be assured

Chains of Office
Symbols of Leadership
Be recognized as your institution’s
highest authority at academic ceremonies
and other prestigious events by having
Medallic Art Company handcraft a chain
of office (also known as a presidential
medallion) uniquely for you.
B
Medallic Art Company has been creating
chains of office exclusively in the United
States since 1903. Call us today to learn
how we can help you customize this
lasting symbol of esteem for you and
your institution.

of sweeping drama to
the entire piece.
You can update your chain at any
time. Add new names, additional
images, or custom components.
Just call us for a new quote and
send your item back for revision.

Adirondack Community College

surround to create a unique look.
Comfortably Wear
Your Chain of Office
The most comfortable way to wear
a chain of office is by balancing the
length of the chain on the shoulders
to offset the weight of the chain’s
front. You can do this by sewing
Velcro, buttons or hooks onto the
shoulders of your garment to secure
the chain in position. Ask about our
optional stabilizing chain link, which
attaches to the upper part of the
inside of the chain, and when worn
behind the neck, helps to position
the chain properly.

coloring create classically distinctive
masterpieces that harken back to
honor, integrity, and royalty.
Traditional,
European-style additions,
such as a velvet collar
underneath your chain,
are available as well.

How to Build Your Chain
Choose Your Components
Fully Customizable
The chain of office artfully encompasses an
institution’s heritage and identity, which is why
we provide you numerous ways to customize
your chain to represent your unique legacy.
• Die-strike or Engrave
The round, oval, square, rectangle and shield components
can be customized to best represent your institution’s
mission. The die-striking process (shown in the middle
examples below) is best used for adding intricate details
or if a three-dimensional look is desired. The engraving
process (shown in the right-most examples below) is good
for adding words or simple, stylized art.
Shown at 55% actual size.
Your chain may contain traditional elements such as the ornamental components below or
you may also wish to add customized elements using our shapes (at left) including words
or images that are significant to your institution, such as a university symbol, a mascot, the
institution’s motto, names of previous presidents, or any other item unique to you.
• Ornamental Components
These components can be added to enhance the symbolism of your chain.

Choose Your Metal
The metal you choose makes a significant
statement. You may choose copper or silver
because it’s the state mineral or gold because
your institution is celebrating a centennial. Your
metal choice will reflect your school’s mission
and heritage just as your seal does.
A smaller die-struck,
or three-dimensional,
version of your seal
medal can be added
to your chain,
reinforcing your
commitment to
heritage.

names, logos or other images
can be laser engraved on the
larger chain components.
Create Your
Medallion
The centerpiece of
every chain we make
is the medallion. We
take great care in
representing your
seal, logo, historic
buildings or founders
in exquisite detail
and relief.
Honor past and
current leaders by
engraving names and
service dates on one
of our many smaller
engravable banners.

Ceremonial Maces
A
Carry Forward the
Traditions of Your
Institution
The ceremonial mace is the
symbolic extension of a leader’s
authority. Medallic Art Company
combines the finest materials
and quality workmanship to
create an original work of art
that establishes an enduring
legacy of leadership for your
institution.

College’s complex,
but beautiful
42” walnut mace
includes a larger
medallion that
commands the eye;
antique bronze
accents vertically
and horizontally,
and a unique spiral
pattern at the base
of the mace itself.
Lehigh Carbon Community College opted for
spare elegance when designing its mace, serving
as the ideal platform to draw attention to the
medallion at the top. The mace served as a source
of pride for the ceremony, faculty, graduates, and
their families as Dr. John Hefner, grand marshal
of LCCC’s graduation ceremony, led the way.

Macettes and Batons
When Smaller is Better
Macettes and batons are perfect when a more
personal size is needed. The smaller size makes
them lighter and easier to carry for longer periods
of time. If some of your institution’s ceremonies
make it difficult to use your larger mace, a smaller
duplicate will help you maintain the pomp and
circumstance of important events. Macettes and
batons will also be cherished as gifts to donors
and departing leadership.
Faculty and
leaders of The
University
of Southern
California use this
17” dark walnut
macette during
convocation
ceremonies.

How to Build Your Mace
Create a Flawless Representation
of Your Institution
Every aspect of your ceremonial mace or macette
can be customized to fit your needs, style, and
budget. You can choose from one of our popular
styles, customizing with your school’s seal, logos,
and mottos, or you can use an existing style as a
starting point to create something a little different
by changing the head, staff or foot.
You can also create a completely new mace or
macette to better represent your institution. You
choose the materials, the size, any additional
custom elements, and the stand that best displays
your mace when it’s not in use.
• Choose a Head Style
The head of the mace can showcase a single medallion
or several medallions honoring a long history. Additions
like a wreath or flame provide
a traditional academic look if
desired. An engravable
metal platform
can be added to
some styles to
include mottos
or values to the
mace. Custom
mace heads
are also a
powerful way
to express your
school’s history
and values.
• Create Your Medallions
Traditionally designed after a school’s seal, the medallions
could also showcase important themes, buildings, leaders, or
other elements of significance to your institution.
• Choose a Staff Style
The staff of your mace or macette can be very modest or
as ornate as you can imagine. Engravable metal sections
or banners (shown here) can be added to honor your
institution’s beliefs, leaders, donors, academic programs,
or separate campuses.

• Choose Your Materials
Your choice of materials makes a powerful
statement about how you honor your
institution’s heritage and values. For
example, the University of Utah chose
to include distinct copper accents on the
mace staff, venerating Utah’s state mineral.
Louisiana State University supplied Medallic
Art with wood from their campus, paying
homage to the beautiful oaks that cover
the grounds. The beauty of your mace is
limited only by your imagination and sense
of propriety, never by the materials available
for its creation.

Oak
* Other woods
are available
upon request.

• Choose a Mace Stand
A mace stand displays and protects your
mace while it is not in use. The mace stand
is made to order to fit your custom mace.
See page 17 to see the options available.
An exceptionally high level of
customization and attention to
detail is required to craft your
mace or macette. It is best to
begin working on the design
at least two months in advance.
If time is an issue, please ask
about our impressive
stock selections.
• Choose a Foot Style
The final touch on your
custom mace or macette
should reflect the overall
style. The foot can be
made of metal or wood
to carry out the look and
function you need.

Custom Mace Heads
M
The highlight of the
Beacon College mace
is a recreation of the
flame in the institution’s
seal. The complete seal
was created in great
detail as the main medal
of the college’s chain
of office and in smaller
medals on the chain and
mace (shown below).
A custom-designed
head piece reinforces
the history and
symbolism that sets
your institution apart.
Dr. Terri Ross, Beacon College’s
longest serving faculty member,
holds the newly crafted 36” tall
custom-designed walnut and brass
mace (shown larger at left) before
presenting it to Dr. George J. Hagerty
during his inauguration ceremony.
The mace leading your ceremony and
procession can be as unique as your
institution. There is no wrong way to
make a mace as long as you take
your heritage into account.
Some universities have opted
for maces with exceptional designs
reflecting their innovative approach
to education. The Medical College
of Georgia asked for its beloved
building in three dimensions atop
its mace, creating an avatar that
reflected the physical.
Saint Leo University added a crystal
globe atop its mace – a bold symbol,
and Saint Leo used the same crystal
globe atop its macette for thematic
consistency. The cedar staff was customordered as well. (Some have supplied
their own wood.)
Its cross is the center of the academic
and spiritual existence of Wartburg
College, and so it was the appropriate
symbol to top the processional mace.
When it’s important to stand apart,
Medallic Art Company can help you
stand at the front with a mace that
cannot be duplicated.

Stock Maces
Pressed for Time?
With just enough time,
Medallic Art was able
to create a new Central
Catholic High School
seal medal to place on a
stock mace.
The 42” style
stock mace allows
for two medals to be
mounted onto the
wood disk on top.
The traditional look of our stock maces
and macettes complement any medal or
seal design and can be made available
more quickly if you have an approaching
event. If we have already made a die for
you, we can mint a new medal for the
head of the mace. Or you can choose to
engrave one of our stock medals (see the
selection on pages 28-31) with your seal,
other imagery or wording.
The 24” style
stock mace has a medal
mounted on top and brass
foot that can be silver- or
gold-plated.
Reverse
The U.S. Sports Academy had
two of our stock medals placed
on a stock mace in order
to meet a fast-approaching
deadline for a ceremony.
The 14” style stock macette allows for a
smaller medal mounted on top and brass foot
that can be silver- or gold-plated.
Stock maces and
macettes are available
in cherrywood or
dark walnut. Changes
or additions may be
available if time permits.

Display and Protect
Mace Stands
Mace stands are a simple, yet elegant way to safely store your mace or macette. Stands can be masterpieces
in their own right, custom-made to match the style and size of your mace or macette.
• Horizontal Mace Stand
The horizontal stand is often used when
the mace will be displayed on a shelf.
• Vertical Mace Stand
The vertical stand is used when the mace
is displayed at floor level. This stand is
useful on a stage when ceremonies are
being performed after a procession.
• Base Mace Stand
A base stand is another floorlevel display option that gives
your mace a free-standing look.
Your seal medal can be mounted
to the front if desired.
George Mason
University added
a brass back to its
vertical stand.

Honoring Heritage
Design Versatility
and Consistency
Once you have created one necessary
item, such as a mace or chain, your
medal design makes it possible
to build other items essential to
displaying your institution’s heritage.
A seal design can be used for
everything from chain components,
to cuff links, to lapel pins, to awards
and especially graduation medals.
All of your Medallic Art Company
articles can share the same art
design, which reinforces the values of
your institution.
Bellevue College saved time and
money by using the same medal for
both its mace and chain of office.

Henry Ford
College honors
its heritage by
incorporating its
former names on
both the chain
and mace.

Acknowledge Departing Leaders
Recognize the Dedication
of Departing Leaders
How do you reward a leader’s faithful and
tireless service to your institution? Give them
an enduring symbol of the institution they
love and of their term in office. These gifts
are perfect for honoring the sacrifice and
dedication of outgoing Presidents, Chancellors,
Trustees, Regents, or Provosts. You can
recognize them with a unique custom piece
or you can use an existing piece to create a
memorable gift.
After his 18 years of dedication,
Saint Leo University created a
12” walnut macette and base stand
to honor Dr. Arthur F. Kirk, Jr., its
outgoing president. The macette is a
replica of the 60” mace Medallic Art
had created for the university.
University of Utah
used an existing
medal design to
create this gift
for its retiring
chairman.
The University of Georgia
gifted this chain of office
to its retiring president,
adding his ending tenure
date onto a banner
component on the chain.
The university had a
new chain made for its
incoming president.
“Thanks so much
for the beautiful work you
have created for our outgoing
president! It looks marvelous
and everyone has exclaimed
how elegant and appropriate
it is to honor her years in
office.”
— Lisa Purcell,
Southern Oregon
University

Awards and Recognition
Donor Recognition
In Their Honor
Great deeds deserve great awards. Any
award your institution bestows must
convey the full weight of its prestige
when worn or displayed by the recipient.
Whether the prize is for a student, faculty
member, donor, or classified employee,
you can rely on Medallic Art Company
to give it form with the same care and
quality craftsmanship we use for the
famed prizes we’ve produced – the
Peabody Award, the Newbery Medal, the
Pulitzer Prize, and the Medal of Honor.
Acknowledging those whose gifts keep the flame
of education burning can be done in multiple
ways. Create different gifts for donors at
discrete milestones to encourage
their philanthropy.
Award Medals
Presentations of medals on
neck ribbons add pomp to
your thanks – and could
wind up in the news or your
alumni newsletter.
With over 1,700
color combinations in
stock – and the ability to
create custom-colored
ribbons – we are able to

Celebrating a Milestone
Anniversaries & Special Occasions
Whether awarding an honorary doctorate,
recognizing a patent, significant discovery,
anniversary, or a classified employee’s length of
service, celebrate special accomplishments or
occasions with an award that will last.
A milestone anniversary is a
cause for a celebration that brings
together your institution’s disparate
constituents. School spirit soars, and
donations frequently follow. One of
the many excellent colleges in the
District of Columbia, Gallaudet,
honored its sesquicentennial with a
medallion designed by artist
Ann Silver, Class of ’72.
A custom certificate accompanied each medal
to tell the story of Gallaudet University’s
history as well as the making of the medal.
• Cuff Links
Enhance a special occasion with
simple, yet elegant cuff links bearing
your institution’s seal or logo.

• Galvanos
Sharing the Complete Story
The Kenai Peninsula College Community Commemorative Coin project commemorated
the Kenai Peninsula Borough’s 50th year of service to the area’s citizens and visitors
alike. Consisting of both copper and silver coins, each coin included a detailed
certificate of authenticity that relayed the history of the borough, the school district,
and the college and told the story of the making of the coins.
Custom Certificates of Authenticity allow you
to share a personal message that goes beyond
the message on the medallion.
Galvanos are artistic items finished in an
attractive metal for maximum effect –
compelling the eye and adding import to
any item. The galvano above is mounted
on walnut for an appealing presentation,
but can also be displayed alone. These
are ideal for commemorating notable
people or events in public locations, or for
presentation to an honored recipient.
