Gucci Stirrup Cup Set of 12 in Fitted Display Box - Italy, c.1970

Found in Switzerland

A genuinely rare find, this complete set of twelve Gucci stirrup cups is presented in its original fitted display box, gold satin lined lid stamped "Gucci" and a green baize lined base holding all twelve pieces upright. The set comprises two examples each of six animal motifs, stag, horse, hound, hare, fox, and boar, every head finely sculpted in heavy gauge silver plate with real individuality of expression across the different species.

Stirrup cups have a long history in English sporting tradition, offered to riders before a hunt, and Gucci's interpretation brings Italian sculptural flair to that heritage, each animal rendered with genuine character rather than generic form. Having the complete set together, with two of every motif, is unusual, individual examples are far more commonly found on their own, which makes this boxed set a meaningful find for a serious collector.

Dating to 1970s Italy, the cups can be displayed together in their case as a genuine collection piece, or used individually as barware for a dinner party with real conversational impact. Either way, the presentation box itself adds real value, offering both protection and a striking way to display the full set.

An exceptional and complete example of Gucci's foray into sporting barware, ideal for serious collectors of Gucci silver or equestrian design.

Collectors Notes

We've sold several of these stirrup cups individually before, so finding the complete set of twelve together in its original box is genuinely unusual. It anchors our barware collection, and the brand history alone makes it a standout among our Vintage Gucci pieces.

Who Are You Buying From?

Every object here has a journey before it ever reaches you. I've spent years seeking these pieces out, in back rooms of old ateliers, from families who've inherited more than they can keep, through dealers I've come to trust, in conversations with people who still work with their hands, because I've always believed the things we choose to live with should carry something true. What began as a private obsession became a devotion, one I now share with my wife and daughter, who remind me daily that the best collections are the ones built to be passed down, not simply owned. What you're holding isn't just an object. You're inheriting its story, and becoming part of its next chapter.
