Vintage 1940s Brass and Silver-Plate Horse Show Loving Cup Perpetual Trophy

Add a touch of storied equestrian elegance to your moody vintage or traditional English country interior with this handsome 1940s silver-plated perpetual horse show trophy. Crafted by the International Silver Company, this piece features a classic loving cup silhouette with angular handles, a tarnished silver-plated exterior that reveals a warm brass interior, and a tiered black plastic base. The front face is beautifully engraved with "Burnett Bros Jewelers Perpetual Junior Jumper Trophy - The Highlands Spring Horse Show," while the reverse bears the names of its earliest victors from 1940, 1941, and 1942. Rich with history and a beautifully aged patina perfect for Dark Academia styling, it does bear signs of its long, well-loved life; please note that one of the handles was previously broken off and shows a visible repair where it meets the top rim. Additionally, there are three small dents towards the base of the trophy, one on the front and two on the back. Display this distinctive historic piece on a curated bookshelf, use it to corral pens on a vintage desk, or let it stand alone as a conversation-starting focal point.

VINTAGE & ANTIQUE
Vintage and antique items are pre-owned and aged goods. In most cases, we do not clean or polish any items that come into our shop. Once you remove an item's traces of age and patina it's not something you can reverse, so we leave those activities up to the buyer. We do not disassemble found art from their frames unless it is necessary to differentiate a print from an original piece of art. Vintage prints purchased from this shop could originate from any print media (e.g., magazines, books, photographs, art prints, etc.). We try our best to describe items accurately and disclose any and all flaws and imperfections. Please refer to pictures as a visual description. We want to make sure you are happy with your purchase so, please do not hesitate to ask any questions you may have prior to checkout.

SHIPPING
As much as possible, we utilize recycled shipping boxes. The box you receive your item in may show signs of wear and pre-use.

PHOTOGRAPHY
All photos are taken in natural light and we do not use any photo filters and do not perform any photo editing (other than basic photo cropping). Depending on your monitor settings, there may be subtle differences in color once you see your item in person.
