About the Item

A true masterpiece of 19th-century craftsmanship, this important Saint-Eloi bouquet in wrought iron embodies the skill and dedication of a master farrier at the culmination of his Compagnons du Devoir journey. Traditionally suspended above the entrance of a forge or workshop, this exceptional piece showcases a remarkable combination of techniques, including riveting and welding, demonstrating the artisan’s expertise. Rich in symbolism, the bouquet features elegant laurel garlands tied in graceful knots, stylized horseshoes, and oak leaves, all culminating in the figure of Saint Éloi, the revered patron saint of blacksmiths, farriers, and metalworkers, holding his hammer and bishop’s crozier. A rare and authentic work of art, this piece is perfect for lovers of equestrian heritage and would make a striking addition to a ranch, stable, or stud farm, blending history, tradition, and craftsmanship in a timeless display of artistry.
