Awarded at the 1957 Concours Hippique International, this scalloped pewter plate is a striking relic of mid-century European equestrian culture. Centered with a French coat of arms and the Latin motto “Post Tenebras Lux”After Darkness, Light — this piece carries both symbolic weight and historic gravitas.

Concours Hippique events were the social crown jewels of post-war Europe: equal parts sport, diplomacy, and spectacle. This plate would have been presented to a winning rider or stable, making it a true piece of competitive history.

The soft pewter sheen, subtle surface marks, and timeworn patina are not imperfections — they are proof of a life well lived and a moment worth remembering.

Perfect as wall art, layered into a gallery display, or styled on a shelf as a sculptural accent with a story.

Mostly Open Tote, with Pockets
Color: Grey-lichee
I love this bag. It's large enough for a short shopping trip, but not so big it drags when carried by hand (I'm short, so it's a factor). I like the pebbled surface but wish the bottom had little feet to protect the leather when set down. It has 1 zipped external pocket and 2 internal zipped pockets, although the second inside one could use a bit of structure; it flops, tending to cover items in the main compartment. It is high quality otherwise, fully lined, and a good value. I use it frequently, with enjoyment.

Nicest bag I’ve ever owned. Designer quality, obsessed.
It’s still hard to believe that how nice this bag is and that it’s mine and that I got it in Amazon. I’ve been searching for a high quality bag and was willing to pay 3x this price... I have many designer bags and somehow this is better than anything I’ve ever owned. I’m so happy I tried this out because I’ll never own another bag again. I literally get asked everywhere I go where I got my bag and everyone’s shocked to hear it was Amazon. I want it in every color... red is next for my bday! The leather is insanely high quality, straps are *LONG,* COMFY AND STURDY... Normally shoulder bag straps are either too short or so thin that they hurt/feel unreliable. So many inside pockets plus an outside pocket... It fits so much yet it’s not a big ugly tote.. it’s still a shoulder purse. I carry a giant wallet, small wallet, mints, chapstick, medication, a giant core water... and more and it all fits perfectly and straps are comfy. Literally obsessed... also I’ve never written a paid review before, this is not one, I just seriously love this bag so much.

Travel Friendly Bag

Genuine leather, deep pockets, beautiful rich brown color, zippers are jewelry grade (slide like butter), lots or organization, magsnap closure, outer pocket or cell phones, inside lining is soft material, shoulder carry. I returned because it was heavier than I thought, and not cross-body available

Great looking pebble leather bag!
Color: Coffee-lichee
I have purchased powder blue, maroon, and three brown bags. I love the brown color bag. I have given two away and purchased this third bag for myself to keep (hopefully). The pebble leather seems to be genuine. This is a reasonable price for a large leather bag. It has large capacity, two inside zippers, one outside zipper, another install compartment. Great for organizing. I use this bag as my everyday go to bag. I love it!
