French Horse Show Trophy Plaque 1956 Chateaudun Vintage Award 0802268

French horse show trophy

This authentic French horse show trophy plaque dates from 1956 and represents a prize from the Concours Hippique de Chateaudun. Awarded as fourth prize by the Commercial Association, this enameled metal award reflects the formal equestrian competitions that were central to French rural community life during the mid-20th century.

The oval-shaped plaque features deep blue enamel finish with raised lettering in aged brass or bronze tone metal. The text reads "CONCOURS HIPPIQUE DE CHATEAUDUN 1956" across the top curve, with "PRIX DE L'ASSOCIATION COMMERCIALE 4ME PRIX" prominently displayed across the center. The classic typography and institutional styling are characteristic of French official awards from the 1950s period.

Measuring approximately 18cm x 11cm (7.1" x 4.3"), this substantial metal piece shows age-appropriate wear with surface patina and minor enamel loss that adds to its authentic vintage character. The original hanging loop remains intact and functional. The weathered finish indicates decades of proud display by its original recipient.

This equestrian memorabilia piece would appeal to collectors of French sporting history, vintage trophies, or horse-related antiques. The specific date and location make it a documented piece of regional French heritage.
