French Horse Show Prize Plaque 1956 Agricultural Trophy Award 1301269

French Horse Show Prize

This authentic French horse show prize plaque represents a piece of rural French agricultural heritage from 1956. Awarded at local equestrian competitions, this trophy would have been presented to successful participants in the regional horse shows that formed an integral part of French country life during the mid-20th century.

The oval-shaped metal plaque displays raised French lettering reading "CONCOURS HIPPIQUE DE LA SOUTERRAINE" and "COUPE DE LA VILLE" along with "6e PRIX," indicating this was a sixth-place award. The competition took place in La Souterraine, a town in the Limousin region known for its agricultural traditions. The red painted surface contrasts with the bronze-toned metal construction, showing classic French decorative award design of the era.

Measuring 13.5cm x 9.5cm (5.3" x 3.7"), this plaque features an ornate border with decorative elements and includes a hanging loop at the top. The surface shows authentic age-related wear consistent with a genuine vintage agricultural prize, with some paint wear and patination visible on the metal surfaces.

This French horse show prize would appeal to collectors of equestrian memorabilia, vintage French agricultural items, or those interested in regional competition history. The piece represents the traditional importance of livestock competitions in French rural culture.
