An exceptionally rare complete set of six Gucci pewter stirrup cups, crafted in Italy circa 1970s. Each cup is topped with a finely detailed animal head — stag, boar, horse, fox, hound, and hare — inspired by English and Italian hunting traditions.
Gucci introduced these sculptural stirrup cups during the 1970s as part of its Home & Equestrian Collection, reflecting the brand’s deep ties to the sport of kings and its heritage in saddle-making. The forms are modeled after 18th- and 19th-century English stirrup cups — originally used for a pre-hunt toast taken while mounted, without dismounting from one’s horse.
Each piece is marked “Gucci Italy” and each are approximately 6" tall. The set displays a beautiful patina from age and gentle use.
Perfect as a barware conversation piece or displayed upright as sculptural objets on a bookshelf, console, or home bar. Their timeless combination of luxury, sport, and whimsy epitomizes vintage Gucci’s golden era of design.
