The polished silver body is beautifully formed with a graceful, gently flared silhouette, raised upon a substantial circular pedestal base. Most distinctive are the dramatic double antler handles, which sweep elegantly along either side of the cup and lend the piece a wonderful sporting and rustic character.

Remarkably, the cup remains unengraved, allowing the clean form and unusual combination of materials to take center stage. The contrast between the lustrous sterling silver and naturally textured antler gives the piece tremendous visual presence, equally at home in a traditional English country interior, sporting collection, gentleman's study, or Ralph Lauren-inspired setting.

The underside of the base is marked “Sterling,” confirming its silver content. Substantial in both appearance and construction, the cup has a total weight of approximately 379 grams. It measures approximately 6.25 inches high, 8.25 inches wide, and 4.25 inches deep. Good antique condition, a few small indents to the silver and base. One handle has a very slight looseness that is only noted when handled. Please review the photos for further condition assessment.

A handsome and highly decorative survivor from the early 20th century, this unusual antler-handled trophy cup offers a sophisticated blend of sporting heritage, rustic character, and classic sterling silver craftsmanship. See less
