In 1900, he designed the official medals for the 1900 Summer Olympics held in Paris.[3] These medals are unique in being the only Olympic medals to be rectangular rather than the traditional circular design. Member of the Société des artistes français since 1896, he was elected member of the Académie des beaux-arts in 1909.[4]

His son Jean de Vernon (1897–1975), was likewise an engraver, medallist and a French sculptor.

A prize for engraving bears his name and that of his son Jean: "Prix Frédéric et Jean de Vernon – Gravure".
