An original interwar sports trophy — a vintage Art Deco award platter (plate), manufactured in Sweden in 1929. This item possesses a distinct historical charm and would make an excellent addition to a sports antiquities collection or a refined interior decor piece.
The center of the platter features an elegant Swedish engraving: “3 je Pris á Skidor 30 km 19 24/2 29” (3rd prize in a 30 km ski race, February 24, 1929).

Good collectible/vintage condition for an item that is nearly 100 years old. The geometry is perfect, with no dents or deep damage. It features a fine, noble age patina and a natural light mesh of superficial handling scratches (traces of gentle use and historical cleanings), which only confirms the authenticity and venerable age of the piece
