Cast in solid iron and weighing a full one pound, this distinctive desk piece takes the form of a horse’s hoof fitted with a silver-plated horseshoe inscribed “N.C.R. Steeple-Chase October 1927.”

The steeplechase, a thrilling cross-country horse race that originated in Ireland in the 18th century, tested both horse and rider over fences, ditches, and water jumps, demanding courage and precision. This trophy paperweight commemorates one such event, likely presented to a participant or winner nearly a century ago.

Measuring 4 inches deep, 3.5 inches wide and 1 inch high, it has a satisfying heft and timeless appeal. Good antique condition with signs of handling and wear to the patina. Please review the photos for further condition assessment.

Perfect as a unique desk accessory, decorative accent, or gift for an equestrian enthusiast, this piece blends sporting heritage with vintage charm. Whether displayed in a study, library, or office, it evokes the excitement and elegance of a bygone racing era. See less
