French Agricultural Prize Plaque Bovine Competition Award Trophy 1954 1909244

French Agricultural Prize

This authentic French Agricultural Prize plaque from 1954 documents France's rural heritage through an inter-cantonal bovine competition award. Cast in metal for the La Suze contest, this trophy represents the country's deep-rooted livestock breeding traditions and agricultural excellence recognition systems of the mid-20th century.

The oval plaque displays raised French text including "CONCOURS INTER-CANTONAL LA SUZE 1934" and "ESPECE BOVINE NORMANDE," identifying it as an award for Norman cattle breeding. The weathered green patina finish shows natural aging characteristic of mid-century French metalwork, with traditional casting techniques evident in the well-defined lettering and border details.

Measuring 22cm x 13.5cm (8.7" x 5.3"), the substantial metal construction preserves clear raised text despite decades of aging. An attachment ring at the top indicates original mounting for display purposes. The plaque shows appropriate wear consistent with its seventy-year history, including surface patina and minor weathering that authenticate its vintage status.

This French Agricultural Prize represents an important category of rural French collectibles, suitable for display in country kitchens, farmhouse interiors, or agricultural heritage collections. Such competition awards document France's systematic approach to livestock improvement and regional agricultural pride.
