About the Item
Rare 17th/18th Century Silver-Plated Ornate Shoe Stirrup – Spanish Colonial
Origin: Spanish Colonial (likely Mexico or Peru)
Date: Circa late 17th to early 18th century
Material: Silver-plated metal over iron or brass
Dimensions: Approx. 13 cm long × 5.5 cm wide × 10 cm high (please confirm)
Condition: Good antique condition with rich patina, light surface wear and minor oxidation consistent with age. Hinged arch remains functional.
Description:
A highly decorative and rare antique shoe stirrup, most likely made in Spanish Colonial Latin America during the late 17th or early 18th century. Crafted with exceptional attention to detail, the piece features deeply engraved foliate and floral motifs across the arched frame, a finely pierced footplate, and an engraved cartouche to the front — possibly a monogram.
This form, with its hinged arch and radiating pierced tread, is closely associated with high-status equestrian equipment produced in the Spanish colonies, particularly in Mexico and Peru, where European and Moorish influences fused to create richly decorated ceremonial objects.
Likely intended for formal or parade use rather than practical riding, it is both a historical artefact and a sculptural object of real presence.
