Stirrups for identification and comment

[Miguel]

Hello everyone,

I have had this pair of Steel Stirrups for a good many years and thought it was about time I found out something about them. I have tried to find out using the internet without success hence this post.

They seem very well made and are nicely decorated and polished. My own feeling is that they are Indian on account of the two Peacocks cast either side of the swivel but I am not really sure. I would be grateful if anyone could confirm or otherwise. Thanking you in advance,
Regards
Miguel

Persian or Indian would be my best guess - but only a guess, mind you.

Handsome stirrups, whatever the origin

They're Indian. Likely Rajasthan, 1st half of the 19th century.
Nice pair

Thank you very much Oliver for your info. I had thought that they may be Indian but I had no idea of their age and am pleasantly surprised that they are first part of the 19th C, they don't look as if they have ever been used. Do you know whether they were Civilian or Military? Thanks again.

Regards
