French Agricultural Trophy Plaque 1956 Souterraine Bronze Award 1212255

French Agricultural Trophy

This vintage French agricultural trophy plaque represents an authentic piece of French rural heritage from 1956. Awarded at the Comestique de la Souterraine competition, this bronze and enamel award celebrates the tradition of French agricultural excellence. The inscription Coupe de la Ville 3e Prix indicates this was a third-place prize presented to farmers or livestock breeders in this regional competition.

The oval plaque displays rich burgundy red enamel with raised bronze lettering throughout the surface. Decorative grape cluster motifs appear at the top, while the entire piece features a bronze frame border. The patina and natural aging patterns demonstrate its authentic vintage character from the mid-20th century. The craftsmanship reflects the quality typically found in official French municipal awards of this era.

Measuring 13.5cm x 9.5cm (5.3" x 3.7"), this French agricultural trophy shows appropriate age-related patina and minor wear consistent with its 1956 origin. The bronze sections display natural oxidation while the red enamel remains largely intact. A metal hanging ring at the top allows for display purposes. The overall condition reflects seven decades of careful preservation.

This piece serves as both a collectible example of French agricultural history and a distinctive decorative element for those interested in rural French culture and vintage competition awards.
