Set of 10 Silver Plate Elk Stirrup Cups
A striking set of ten silver plate stirrup cups, each topped with a finely modeled elk head complete with detailed antlers, expressive features, and beautifully textured fur. Sculptural and substantial, these cups bring a refined sporting elegance to any bar cart, cocktail setup, or lodge-inspired interior.
Stirrup cups have a long and charming history in English country tradition. They were traditionally offered to gentlemen on horseback while their feet were still in the stirrups—a final fortifying drink before setting off on a ride or at the conclusion of a hunt. Usually filled with port or sherry, they served as both a gesture of hospitality and a ceremonial toast. Today, they remain beloved for their heritage styling and nod to classic sporting life.
Designed to be displayed upside-down on their heads, these elk cups make an especially impressive presentation when grouped together, offering both utility and an artful, masculine silhouette.
