This authentic French agricultural plaque represents a genuine prize award from France's rural competition tradition. The cast iron trophy was originally presented by the Societe d'Agriculture du Departement de Belfort to recognize excellence in farming and livestock breeding within this historic agricultural region.
The oval plaque features raised lettering cast into heavy iron, displaying the text "Societe d'Agriculture du Departement de Belfort" along the top arc and "Prix d'Honneur" prominently across the center. The substantial construction shows the quality typical of French industrial casting from this era, with clear definition in the lettering and decorative elements.
Measuring 13cm x 10cm (5.1" x 3.9"), this French agricultural plaque exhibits natural rust patination throughout its surface, creating the weathered appearance characteristic of authentic vintage iron pieces. The original mounting hole remains intact at the top, and the overall condition reflects decades of age with surface oxidation that confirms its genuine provenance.
This piece would appeal to collectors of French rural memorabilia, agricultural antiques, or industrial artifacts. The Belfort Department connection adds regional significance for those interested in Franche-Comte history and farming heritage.
