French Vintage Horse Show Medal Trophy Plaque 1951 Bordeaux 1212256

French Horse Show Medal

This vintage French horse show medal represents the distinguished equestrian tradition of mid-20th century France. Dating to 1951, this authentic trophy was awarded by the Societe Hippique Francaise in Bordeaux for the Prix Daniel Guestier, recognizing achievement in regional horse competitions that were integral to French agricultural and sporting culture.

The oval-shaped medal features brass construction with red enamel inlay work. Raised gilt lettering displays the society name, Bordeaux location, year 1951, and prize designation across the vibrant red center field. The brass border frames the composition with decorative flourishes typical of French institutional design from this period. A suspension loop at the top indicates its original purpose as a displayable honor award.

Measuring 13.5cm x 9.5cm (5.3" x 3.7"), this substantial French horse show medal shows authentic age-related patina on the brass elements while retaining clear legibility of all text. The red enamel surface displays minor wear consistent with a genuine vintage equestrian prize from the 1950s era.

This documented equestrian trophy appeals to collectors of French sporting memorabilia, horse-related antiques, or vintage prize medals. Such institutional awards from provincial French horse shows represent an authentic connection to France's rich equestrian heritage and regional competition traditions.
