French Agricultural Prize Plaque Cast Iron Trophy Belfort Award 11032515

French Agricultural Prize Plaque

This authentic French agricultural prize plaque represents the established tradition of rural competitions and livestock judging that formed the cornerstone of French farming communities. Awarded by the Agricultural Society of the Belfort Territory, this cast iron trophy recognized excellence in animal breeding and agricultural achievement at regional festivals and competitions during the early to mid-20th century.

The oval cast iron plaque displays raised lettering in French, reading "STE D'AGRICULTURE DU TERRITOIRE DE BELFORT" around the perimeter with "1ER PRIX" prominently featured at the center. The weathered surface retains traces of original red paint, creating a natural patina that reveals decades of authentic aging. The robust construction demonstrates the quality metalwork typical of French industrial casting from this period.

Measuring approximately 13cm x 10cm (5.1" x 3.9"), this substantial piece shows honest wear consistent with its age and provenance. The mounting hole at the top indicates it was originally displayed as a wall plaque. The surface exhibits natural oxidation and paint loss throughout, characteristic of outdoor agricultural display use.

This French agricultural prize plaque would appeal to collectors of rural memorabilia, French agricultural history enthusiasts, or those interested in regional trophy awards. The Belfort territory connection adds specific geographical significance to this farming heritage artifact.
