French Vintage Agricultural Award Trophy Plaque 1911 Paris Prize 0312251

French Agricultural Award

This French agricultural award plaque represents an authentic piece of early 20th century rural heritage from France. Dating to 1911, this commemorative trophy was presented at the prestigious Paris agricultural competition, specifically honoring draft horses from the Mazeres region as indicated by the inscription "Chevaux de Mazeres Attelages & du Geval".

The circular plaque displays raised lettering characteristic of period French agricultural awards, with text arranged in concentric bands around the central inscription. The aluminum construction shows a bronze-like patina that has developed naturally over more than a century, creating subtle color variations across the surface. The robust industrial design reflects the formal importance of these competitions in French rural society.

Measuring 17cm in diameter (6.75 inches), this French agricultural award shows authentic aging consistent with its 1911 date. The raised typography remains clearly legible despite the natural patina, while the overall condition demonstrates the durable construction methods used for these ceremonial pieces. The inscription "Societe Hippique Francaise" and "International" confirm its prestigious origins.

This historic plaque would appeal to collectors of French agricultural memorabilia, equestrian items, or early 20th century industrial design. Such awards from the Paris competitions are increasingly scarce, making this a noteworthy example of French rural tradition.
