This unusual 1930 Art Deco silver and ebonised wood trophy celebrates a hole in one achievement at Barnehurst Golf Club. The design incorporates three miniature solid silver golf clubs holding a textured golf ball above a round black wooden base fitted with two engraved silver plaques, one noting the 201 yard shot by DE Thomas on 29 March 1930 and the other offering compliments from the Silvertown Co. The sterling silver elements bear London hallmarks for 1929 along with the maker mark of the Glossoid Co. Condition notes indicate age related wear on the base and ball alongside tarnish marks and light surface scratches on the silver components. Standing at a height of 17 cm, the object is sized to sit neatly on a bookshelf or desk within a study or library setting as a collector piece for a golf enthusiast.

FAQs

Commemorative hole-in-one trophies became increasingly popular in the early 20th century as golf clubs formalised competition records. Golfers who achieved a hole in one were often presented with a bespoke stand or plaque incorporating the original golf ball used during the achievement.

During the 1930s, sports trophies were typically constructed using sterling silver, electroplated nickel silver (EPNS), or brass, mounted onto turned ebonised wood or mahogany bases. The balls were made from gutta-percha or early rubber core formulations.

Authentic pieces from this period feature hallmark or maker stamps on the metal components, precise engraving with historical dates, and period-accurate golf ball textures such as mesh or bramble patterns rather than modern dimple patterns.

A vintage golf trophy works well as a decorative accent on a desk, bookshelf, or sideboard in a study or library setting. It pairs effectively with framed vintage prints, dark wood furniture, and leather-bound books.

Dust metal components gently with a soft microfiber cloth and clean tarnished silver with a specialized silver polish avoiding the wooden base. Preserve vintage golf balls by keeping them out of direct sunlight and avoiding harsh liquid solvents.
