WHY WE LOVE THIS
This set is pure old-world sporting elegance — refined, timeless, and quietly luxurious. The flared julep form is iconic in its own right, but the addition of the equestrian medallions elevates this into something truly special: a nod to hunt country tradition, steeplechase culture, and classic English sporting style.

We especially love the contrast between the bright silver surface and the deep black enamel medallions — it gives just enough graphic punch while still feeling restrained and elevated. The petite tray completes the set beautifully, making this perfect for styling on a bar cart, sideboard, or library table, or for serving mint juleps, champagne cocktails, or even holding small desk or vanity items.

It’s the kind of piece that feels inherited rather than bought — understated, confident, and quietly rich in character.
