Equestrian Baubles

They may call it the run for the roses, but the real competition at Churchill Downs isn’t between the horses, let’s be honest, Derby Day is a day for the ladies. Hats, dresses, shoes, the perfect handbag, even a nice pair of gloves is perfectly acceptable here. So, next Derby day, having a bright blue dress, a golden straw hat with matching grosgrain ribbon, perfect peep toe wedges and this beauty gracing your elegant wrist is sure to put you in the winners circle. At least, the one amongst the ladies, and really, isn’t that what counts?

If you lived in Victorian England, horses wouldn’t have been merely a passion or a hobby, but rather a way of life, a fact of daily existence. Whether it was travel, work or play, horses were there for you to see you through. So, it’s no wonder that the horseshoe was one of the Victorian’s favorite motifs! 

This silver horseshoe brooch is quintessentially English. With it’s wonderful detail and large size, it’s quite a beauty and I was certainly happy to stumble upon it while shopping the wonderful antiques fair at Ardingly. The brooch measures 1.5 inches (39.4 mm) long and equally as wide. I’m sorry, clearly we should have cleaned it a bit better before taking it’s photo, I’ll see that it gets a bit of a clean before it goes out. The back has a small dent, the front it perfect. While it’s unmarked, we’ve acid tested it to verify that’s crafted in sterling silver. It weighs 5.7 grams. 

Made in England around 1880.
