French Equestrian Trophy This French equestrian trophy commemorates a third-place finish in the Prix Roger de Terves competition held in 1956. Awarded by the Societe Hippique Franc aise and E.C. de Nantes, this vintage prize plaque represents France's rich tradition of agricultural and equestrian competitions during the mid-20th century. The oval trophy features a rich red enamel center with raised golden lettering displaying the competition details and prize ranking. The bronze-toned border frames the commemorative text with decorative elements typical of French award craftsmanship. The raised typography demonstrates the quality metalwork characteristic of mid-century French trophy making. Measuring 13.5cm x 9.5cm (5.3" x 3.7"), this substantial trophy displays authentic patina and wear consistent with its age of nearly seven decades. The original hanging loop remains intact, allowing for display purposes. The surface shows natural aging that confirms its vintage authenticity as a genuine French equestrian trophy. This piece would appeal to collectors of French agricultural memorabilia, equestrian history enthusiasts, or those seeking authentic vintage sporting trophies for display in country or traditional interiors. 95% of my items are tariff-free to the US.
