About the Item
An exceptional and rare antique riding crop, featuring superbly detailed silver mounts with chased and repoussé figural and foliate decoration, likely crafted for an individual of high status. The mount depicts a finely dressed figure in 17th–18th century European attire, surrounded by stylized floral motifs—hallmarks of Spanish Colonial silverwork.
The grip is exquisitely wrapped in intricately plaited rawhide or gut, showcasing master-level craftsmanship. This fine woven work is consistent with high-quality ceremonial or elite riding crops from Colonial South America, most likely Peru or Argentina
Materials: Silver, finely woven hide or gut
Origin: South American Colonial (Peru or Argentina),
Date: Late 18th to early 19th century (c. 1770–1820)
Condition: Excellent antique condition; light surface wear consistent with age, a leather end piece would likely have been present in the past.
Such pieces are rarely encountered outside of institutional collections and often reflect a blend of European decorative language with local colonial craftsmanship. This example is not only a rare survival but also a striking decorative object of cross-cultural significance.
