French Vintage Agricultural Award Plaque Bordeaux 1956 Trophy 04052322

French Agricultural Award

This authentic French agricultural award plaque documents the rich tradition of livestock breeding competitions in Bordeaux. Awarded on April 25, 1956, at an interdepartmental competition celebrating French Frisonne Pie Noire cattle breeding excellence, this trophy represents nearly seven decades of French agricultural heritage.

The substantial oval plaque displays raised French text detailing the specific competition categories and location. Crafted from metal with a weathered green patina finish, the plaque features a decorative rope-style border and mounting loop at the top. The verdigris surface treatment shows authentic aging from its display history, with natural oxidation patterns across the face.

Measuring 20.5cm x 15cm (8" x 6"), this French agricultural award demonstrates honest wear consistent with its age. The surface shows patina development and slight oxidation typical of institutional awards from this period. Text remains clearly legible despite the weathered finish, documenting the males section and second prize category.

This piece offers collectors insight into mid-20th century French agricultural practices and competition traditions. The plaque would suit displays focused on rural French culture or vintage trophy collections.
