  • Two 19th Century Spanish Colonial Brass Slipper Stirrups
    Located in Stamford, CT
    Two great examples of 18th century Spanish Colonial slipper stirrups. Not a pair, each similar yet different. One is brass with a lovely floral decoration, the other a rare copper type with a simple incised design. Both with a wonderful patina that only comes with real age and use. These definitely put in some serious miles. Possibly used in battle, or just to protect the rider from bramble. Imagine what these pieces of history may have witnessed.
