Equestrian Cocktail Stirrers, 1970s

A set of four vintage cocktail stirrers by Keltum, the Dutch maker known for its refined tableware and bar accessories. Each silver-plated piece is crowned with a sculptural horse finial—distinct in posture and movement—set atop a slender, elongated shaft. The clean lines of the stems contrast with the expressive equestrian forms, lending the set both elegance and a quietly playful character. Designed for use yet equally suited to display, they lend themselves beautifully to stirring cocktails or adding a decorative accent to a well-composed bar tray. Their height and sculptural quality also allow them to stand as striking objects in their own right. Marked “Keltum – Holland,” this set reflects a mid-century sensibility, where functional objects were elevated through thoughtful detailing and form.
