This Victorian riding crop dates to the last decade of the 19th Century and originates from a Highland hunting lodge style aesthetic. The piece comprises a warm brown polished wooden shaft, a chased sterling silver collar, and a curved staghorn handle with a carved antler profile, notched grip texture, and visible signs of age. The silver collar bears a London hallmark, the maker's mark for Thomas Cleaver, and an engraved inscription for B Anthony Sedgeford 1892, alongside a split suede tongue strung to the malacca haft. It measures 72 cm high, 10 cm wide, and 2 cm deep. In a modern interior, this item sits comfortably displayed horizontally along a mantelpiece as a decorative equestrian accent. It brings tactile nineteenth-century character to a study, hallway, or living space, pairing naturally with traditional country house collections or cabinet displays.

FAQs

A silver mounted riding crop is a traditional equestrian accessory featuring a decorative sterling silver collar linking a cane or wood shaft to a carved handle, typically crafted from horn, bone, or antler.

Traditional crops were constructed using hardwood or bamboo shafts, hallmarked sterling silver collar mounts, and handles carved from staghorn, bone, or polished wood.

Authenticity can be verified by inspecting the hallmarks stamped on the silver collar, which indicate the metal purity, assay office, and year of manufacture, alongside examining natural wear on the handle.

An antique riding crop can be styled by resting it horizontally on a mantelpiece, mounting it within a framed display case, or placing it inside a cane stand in an entrance hall.

Clean the silver collar using a soft cotton cloth and specialized silver polish, taking care to avoid contact with the horn or wood, which should be conditioned periodically with beeswax.
