Par af antikke iberiske "box-stirrups" (estribos de caja) — 19. århundrede

Et sjældent og dekorativt sæt traditionelle iberiske box-stirrups (estribos de caja eller estribos de capilla), der stammer fra den spansk/portugisiske ryttertradition. Disse karakteristiske lukkede stigler blev vidt udbredt i landlig og ceremoniell ridning på Den Iberiske Halvø gennem det 18. og 19. århundrede, designet til at beskytte rytters fode mod buskads, vejr og slag.

Pair of antique Iberian "box stirrups" (estribos de caja) — 19th century

A rare and decorative pair of traditional Iberian box stirrups (estribos de caja or estribos de capilla), originating from the Spanish/Portuguese horsemanship tradition. These distinctive enclosed stirrups were widely used in rural and ceremonial riding across the Iberian Peninsula throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, designed to protect the rider's foot from brush, weather, and impact.
Construction:

Solid carved hardwood body (likely walnut or pine)
Embossed metal sheet cladding (white metal / possibly silvered brass or tinplate) over the front facing
Decorative cast metal corner pieces (palmette and shell motifs) at the lower edges
Forged iron straps and suspension loops with original hand-cut rivets

Iconography:
The front panels are embossed with a striking equestrian heraldic motif: a horse's head framed within a horseshoe, flanked by scrolling foliage and topped with a stylised crest, with a palmette/shell ornament at the base. Classic symbolic decoration associated with horsemanship and equestrian guilds.
Period: Estimated late 18th to mid-19th century (further authentication recommended)

Origin: Iberian Peninsula (Spain / Portugal)
Material: Hardwood, embossed white metal, cast metal fittings, forged iron
Sold as a matching pair

Condition:
Honest, authentic patina consistent with age and historical use. The metal cladding shows oxidation, surface wear and softening of the embossed detail — entirely typical and characteristic of the period. Wood structure solid with surface marks and minor losses. Iron fittings stable. No restoration. Sold as a decorative collector's piece — not intended for riding use.
Suitable for:
Collectors of equestrian antiques, militaria, Spanish/Portuguese folk art, historical horsemanship; interior decoration for stables, country houses, ranches, equestrian themed interiors, hunting lodges, or wine cellars; museum-style display.
