French Vintage Horse Show Plaque 1955 Agricultural Trophy Award 1212251

French Horse Show Plaque

This authentic French horse show plaque from 1955 represents the country's rich tradition of agricultural competitions. Awarded at the "Concours Hippique de Doudain," this trophy commemorates excellence in equestrian competition where farmers and breeders demonstrated their finest livestock and horsemanship skills.

The oval-shaped plaque displays raised lettering against a distinctive red background with golden bronze borders. The scalloped decorative edges and central suspension ring reflect mid-20th century French craftsmanship typical of competition awards. The text "5e Serie" and "5e Prix" indicates this was a fifth-place award in the fifth series of events.

Measuring 13.5cm x 9.5cm (5.3" x 3.7"), this French horse show plaque shows vintage condition with characteristic surface patina and wear that enhances its authentic appeal. The metal construction has developed natural aging over the decades, with visible wear to the painted and metallic finishes that collectors value in genuine period pieces.

This agricultural trophy serves as both a historical document and decorative accent, suitable for display in country home interiors or equestrian-themed collections. The piece offers insight into France's rural competition heritage and traditional farming communities.
