French Equestrian Trophy Plaque Lyon 1963 Horse Jumping Award 11032522

French equestrian trophy

This vintage French equestrian trophy plaque commemorates the 5th International Show Jumping Competition held in Lyon in 1963. Originating from France's established equestrian tradition, this award represents the competitive show jumping world that thrived in post-war France.

The oval bronze-toned plaque displays relief work depicting a horse and rider in mid-jump over red obstacles. French text "Jumping International Lyon 1963 5me PRIX" is embossed around the border, accompanied by decorative stars and a heraldic lion symbol representing Lyon. The dark background contrasts with the raised golden elements, creating depth through quality French craftsmanship of the era.

Measuring 11.5cm x 13cm (4.5" x 5"), this authentic piece shows patina consistent with its age. The bronze-toned finish displays natural aging, while the relief details remain clearly defined. Minor surface wear is present as expected for a 1960s sporting award.

This French equestrian trophy appeals to collectors of sporting memorabilia, equestrian history, or French awards. The Lyon provenance and specific 1963 dating add historical context to any collection focused on mid-century European competitions.
