Pair of Stirrups
Stephen Pilcherd British

Not on view
These stirrups are rare examples of a distinctive group English enameled brassware made in London in the workshops of Stephen Pilcherd and Anthony Hatch during the second half of the seventeenth century. Formed of sturdy cast brass and decorated with elaborate foliate and figural ornament picked out in a variety of colors, the majority of these wares were made for domestic use, like candlesticks and firedogs, though the rugged materials were equally well suited for equestrian equipment like stirrups and spurs.
