This is a rare matched pair of mid-20th century riding stirrups, crafted from a striking combination of silver and brass, exemplifying the exquisite metalwork and artistry of 1950s-1960s equestrian gear. As a complete original set—increasingly difficult to source—these stirrups showcase intricate detailing, from smoothly sculpted arches to finely finished surfaces, highlighting the period’s dedication to both function and elegance. The harmonious blend of silver and brass creates a visually appealing contrast, suggesting custom or high-end production rather than standard issue.
 
Ideal for collectors of equestrian memorabilia, mid-century design, or artisan metalwork, this pair remains in excellent vintage condition with a natural, stable patina that enhances its character without compromising structural integrity. There is no significant damage, corrosion, or wear beyond gentle aging, making them suitable for display, collection, or even ceremonial use.
 
The rarity of such complete sets, especially with this level of detailing intact, cannot be overstated. As equestrian traditions evolved and mass production replaced artisan methods, stirrups of this quality became uncommon. These represent a fading era of craftsmanship and pride in riding culture.
