About the Item

Gaucho Spurs – Hand-forged Iron And Silver Inlay – Argentina, 18th Century" Antique 18th-Century Gaucho Spurs – Hand-Forged Iron with Silver Inlay (Argentina, c.1750–1800) Description: Rare and finely crafted pair of Colonial-era gaucho spurs, dating from the mid-to-late 18th century (circa 1750–1800). Entirely hand-forged from iron and richly decorated with silver inlay, these spurs are a superb example of early criollo craftsmanship from the Pampas region of Argentina. Each spur features an 8-point star rowel, mounted on a short forged neck with a distinctive scroll motif, inlaid with silver and enhanced by hand-punched detailing. The broad heel bands are adorned with diagonal silver damascening, and retain their original flat clavo buttons, used for attachment to leather bootstraps — a traditional Argentine method. These are not modern reproductions or 19th-century factory pieces; the spurs display all the hallmarks of 18th-century blacksmithing, including visible hammering, punchwork, and subtle irregularities that confirm their handmade origin. Their condition is consistent with authentic age and use, with a pleasing patina to both iron and silver. Key Features: Origin: Argentina (Río de la Plata region), Colonial period Date: Circa 1750–1800 Materials: Hand-forged iron, inlaid with silver Construction: Entirely handmade, with hand-punched decoration and original clavo buttons Dimensions: length 13.5 cm, width 8.5 cm Condition: Excellent antique condition with age-appropriate wear and patina; structurally intact
