This is a striking mid century equestrian style shoehorn, crafted in the 1960s from sand-cast brass.
The handle features a horseshoe, which not only serves as a symbolic nod to equestrian culture but also provides a comfortable grip. The brass has been expertly shaped and polished, giving it a warm, golden sheen that contrasts subtly with the textured surface, a hallmark of the sand-casting process. This technique results in a shoehorn that feels substantial yet refined, with a surface that captures light in a way that highlights its artisanal quality.
The simplicity of the form is balanced by the detailed craftsmanship of the handle, creating an object that is as much a tool as it is a decorative piece.
The overall condition of this piece is excellent, with the brass displaying a beautiful patina that adds to its vintage character.
Dimensions: W. 30 x D. 5 x H. 3 cm
