French Horse Trophy Plaque 1956 Chateaudun Equestrian Competition Award 0802267

French Horse Trophy

This authentic French horse trophy plaque commemorates the prestigious equestrian traditions of the Loire Valley, awarded at the 1956 Concours Hippique de Chateaudun. The oval plaque represents the Prix Jean-Felix Paulsen sixth prize, reflecting the competitive horsemanship culture that defined French countryside agricultural fairs of the mid-20th century.

The trophy features raised white lettering against a deep blue enamel surface, bordered by aged brass or bronze that displays natural patina from decades of age. The text clearly identifies the competition name, year, and specific prize category, with crisp typography characteristic of French metalwork craftsmanship from this period.

The plaque maintains good vintage condition with surface wear consistent with its 1956 date, including minor enamel variations and metal oxidation that enhance its authentic character. A mounting loop at the top indicates its original display purpose as a wall-mounted award.

This equestrian award would complement collections of French sporting memorabilia, vintage trophies, or agricultural competition artifacts, representing the formal recognition systems of mid-century French horse competitions.
