French Vintage Horse Trophy 1906 Cast Iron Award Plaque Nimes 0605248

French horse trophy

This cast iron award plaque represents an authentic French horse trophy from the 1906 Concours Hippique de Nimes, commemorating the Prix de la Tour Magne military equestrian competition. The circular medallion captures Belle Epoque sporting heritage from this historic French city.

Cast in iron with raised bronze lettering, the emerald green patina provides contrast against the metallic text detailing the specific event and third-place finish. The border features decorative elements typical of early 20th-century French foundry work, with crisp definition throughout the raised inscription and numerical details.

Measuring 16.5cm (6.5 inches) in diameter, this substantial cast iron piece displays authentic age-appropriate patina and surface variations consistent with genuine vintage provenance. The original hanging loop remains intact, while the weathered finish shows characteristic color changes expected from a century-old sporting memento.

This French horse trophy would appeal to collectors of equestrian memorabilia, military sporting history, or early 20th-century French metalwork. The specific 1906 date and Nimes provenance add historical significance to any vintage sporting collection.
