French Agricultural Plaque 1879 Vintage Farm Trophy Award Medal 2507247

French Agricultural Plaque

This French agricultural plaque from 1879 represents authentic farming heritage from 19th-century France. Cast as a commemorative trophy award, this piece recognized excellence in animal husbandry and agricultural achievement during the era when French farming communities celebrated livestock breeding accomplishments through such prestigious honors.

The weathered metal surface displays raised relief decoration within an ornate scalloped border. Text elements remain visible across the central field despite extensive surface patina. The construction appears to be cast iron or bronze, typical of French industrial metalwork from this period. Surface oxidation has created varied gray and brown tones throughout the piece.

Measuring 35.5cm x 25.5cm (14" x 10"), this substantial plaque shows authentic aging consistent with its 1879 date. The surface bears weathered patina and natural wear patterns developed over more than 140 years. A mounting loop remains attached at the top, indicating its original display purpose. The raised relief design maintains good definition despite the aged surface condition.

This French agricultural plaque would suit collectors of farming memorabilia, French rural antiques, or 19th-century industrial artifacts. Such trophy plaques represent an important aspect of French agricultural history and community recognition traditions.
