Large Bronze Equestrian Medallion – Rome, 1969 – CHIO International Show Jumping Impressive large-format bronze medallion issued for the prestigious CHIO International Show Jumping competition held in Rome in 1969. The piece features a dynamic relief of mounted riders carrying flags with the inscription “CHIO”, symbolising one of the most important equestrian events in Europe. The composition is strong and well-balanced, with a classical yet modernist style typical of mid-20th century sporting medals. The warm bronze patina enhances the depth of the relief and gives the piece an attractive, authentic character. This medallion is a decorative “metopa” type plaque, intended for display rather than wear, making it an excellent collectible for enthusiasts of equestrian sports, Olympic-style events, or vintage sporting memorabilia. The condition is good, with visible signs of age and use, including surface wear and patina consistent with its age, which add to its historical appeal. Dimensions: approx. 15 x 15 cm A striking and decorative piece with strong visual presence.
