Gucci Stag Stirrup Cup in Silver Plated Brass - Italy c.1970

A striking vintage Gucci stag stirrup cup in silver plate, featuring an intricately sculpted stag head with sweeping antlers rising from a classic tapered cup form. Rich in equestrian and sporting tradition, stirrup cups were historically used during fox hunts and country pursuits, making them enduring symbols of refined sporting life and old-world hospitality. This example captures Gucci’s unmistakable interpretation of heritage luxury — blending English sporting influences with Italian craftsmanship and dramatic sculptural detail. The expressive stag head, textured mane, and commanding antlers elevate the piece beyond barware into decorative object territory. Equally compelling displayed on a bar, library shelf, or desk, these cups embody the kind of timeless sporting elegance that has long informed Gucci’s home and lifestyle collections.
