About the Item

A magnificent, fine and impressive antique English sterling silver model of an equestrian horse and royal hussar officer on a plinth; an addition to our regimental related silverware collection. This magnificent, fine and impressive antique George V English cast sterling silver table ornament has been realistically modelled in the form of a Royal Hussar officer on horseback. The model is embellished with exceptional cast details reproducing the fine details of the soldier's full uniform, in addition to the anatomical details of the horse and male figure. The silver horse stands to an impressive rectangular base ornamented with terrain details. The sterling silver soldier is displayed on the original painted wood presentation plinth. The plinth is fitted with the original hallmarked sterling silver plaque bearing the contemporary engraved inscription 'Presented to Major & Qm S. W. Adderley on the occasion of his Silver Wedding by the Officers of the Royal Gloucestershire Hussars, 12th July 1916'; this inscription could be removed upon request. This magnificent model is fitted to the original hinged boxed wood and velvet lined case; this is a fine and beneficial feature for the safe keeping of the piece. This exceptional model, crafted by the renowned London silversmiths Goldsmiths & Silversmiths Co Ltd, is the finest of its type you could hope to acquire. This equestrian silver horse and Royal Hussar officer figure is both a decorative object and a documented regimental presentation piece, directly linked to Major and Quartermaster S. W. Adderley and the officers of the Royal Gloucestershire Hussars. This campaign piece will have been transported with the regiment assisted by the box wood case. The presence of a clear inscription gives the piece particular significance, providing a tangible connection to military history, a named regiment and a specific moment in time, making it especially appealing to collectors of military and historical silver. Condition This antique silver regimental model is a superior gauge of silver, magnificent quality and in magnificent condition. Full hallmarks struck to the surface of the base and plaque are all very clear; the hallmarks are deeply struck due to the exceptional gauge of silver. The original carrying case is in excellent condition and shows signs of wear in keeping with age. Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of this silver horse ornament.
