Description

A stunning set six figural hunting stirrup cups in silver plate, made by the iconic Italian designer, Mauro Manetti.

The six cups are in the form of animal heads:

Fox, Horse, Stag, Dog, Boar and Hare

Each is signed M/M and "Italy".

The set was rather dull so they have just returned from my silversmith's workshop where they have been professionally cleaned, re-plated and polished, restoring them to their former glory.

Dating to c.1970, they all remain in very good condition with minor wear commensurate with age and use; measuring approximately 3 3/4" x 3" x 5 3/4" tall (Hare).

FAQs

Traditionally presented to riders before a hunt, stirrup cups date back centuries and evolved into highly collectable decorative metalware, particularly during the mid-20th century by Italian designers.

These pieces are typically cast in base metals such as pewter or bronze and finished with a silverplate coating, often featuring detailed sculptural animal heads.

Authentic pieces often bear maker marks, foundry stamps, or signatures on the base, alongside a weight and patina consistent with mid-century manufacturing methods.

They can be displayed on a bar cart, styled on a mantelpiece, or integrated into a tablescape to introduce metallic texture and historical character.

Maintain silverplated items by dusting with a soft cloth and using specialised non-abrasive silver cleaners sparingly to preserve the underlying plating and patina.
