The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

South American spurs, historically associated with equestrian traditions across Chile, Argentina, and Peru, are distinctive riding accessories known for large multi-pointed starburst rowels and detailed metal craftsmanship. Originating in the colonial era and developing through the 19th century, these items served both practical riding functions and visual markers of prestige.

Traditional South American spurs were forged from iron, steel, silver, or silver-plated alloys. Artisans used hand-carving, chasing, engraving, and casting techniques to decorate the heel bands, shanks, and hanging charms attached to the heel rings.

Authentic period spurs exhibit evidence of hand forging, hand-engraved surface motifs, natural patination or slight oxidisation in recessed areas, and hand-cut starburst rowels. Modern reproductions often show uniform machine casting lines and lightweight contemporary metal composition.

Antique spurs are typically displayed as decorative accent pieces on bookshelves, within glass display cabinets, or mounted on custom stands in classic, gentlemans library, or eclectic interiors to add texture and historical interest.

Metal spurs should be stored in a low-humidity environment to prevent corrosion. Dusting with a soft microfiber cloth is recommended, while harsh chemical polishes should be avoided to preserve the historical patina and surface details.
