French Equestrian Trophy This authentic French equestrian trophy plaque commemorates the Concours Hippique de Chateaudun from 1956. Awarded by the Association Commerciale as a sixt h place prize, this piece represents the prestigious horse show competitions that were central to French rural traditions in the mid-20th century. The oval trophy features deep blue enamel with raised golden text displaying the competition details and prize designation. A brass or bronze border frames the plaque, while a small hanging loop at the top indicates its original display purpose. The contrast between the cobalt blue background and gilt lettering demonstrates the quality craftsmanship typical of French trophy makers of this era.

The enamel surface retains its lustrous finish with only minor age-appropriate wear visible. The raised lettering remains clearly legible, preserving the historical details of this agricultural competition award. This piece appeals to collectors of French equestrian memorabilia, vintage sporting trophies, or decorative plaques celebrating rural French heritage. The specific date and location details add historical significance for those interested in mid-century French agricultural competitions. 95% of my items are tariff-free to the US. Show more
