About the Item

Pair of 19th-Century Gaucho Spurs – Argentina / Uruguay Rare and authentic pair of hand-forged iron spurs, attributed to the Río de la Plata region (Argentina or Uruguay), dating from the mid to late 19th century (circa 1840–1880). These spurs feature large star-shaped rowels with long cylindrical points, a characteristic form associated with South American gaucho horsemanship. The broad U-shaped heel bands and robust construction reflect practical use on the pampas rather than decorative or ceremonial intent. Both arms are engraved with floral scroll motifs, adding a refined artisanal touch while remaining consistent with period working equipment. Material: hand-forged iron Origin: Argentina / Uruguay (Río de la Plata region) Date: mid–late 19th century Dimensions: approx. 9.2 × 16 cm Condition: good antique condition with honest wear, surface patina, and minor irregularities consistent with age and use A highly decorative and historically significant pair, ideal for collectors of gaucho culture, South American equestrian antiques, or 19th-century riding equipment.
