Product description
A singular piece where object and history meet. This antique frame features two genuine equestrian elements: a forged horseshoe and an antique stirrup, mounted on a background of a handwritten letter in English announcing an engagement. The text, addressed to "Aunt Mary and Uncle Jack," announces an engagement to a young woman named Eleanor, living near Reading, England, and originally from Trinidad. The author describes his joy and eagerness to introduce his future wife to the family. The handwriting, correspondence style, and mounting suggest a probable dating between the 1930s and 1950s. The horseshoe, a traditional symbol of luck and protection, is positioned above the rider's stirrup, giving the piece both a sentimental and equestrian dimension. Each element is authentic, and the ensemble forms a unique composition, likely created as a keepsake or family decorative item. Antique wooden frame with glass. Dimensions approximately: 34 × 24 cm. A rare decoration for equestrian enthusiasts, country homes, tack rooms, or collectors.
