The Royal Hunt Cup, 1850. Creator: Unknown

The Royal Hunt Cup, 1850. Horseracing trophy...manufactured by Messrs. Hunt and Roskill, of New Bond-street, after the design and model of Mr. Alfred Brown...It is of the Italian or Venetian school [and] very elaborately chased, and the inside is richly gilt and burnished. The stem by which it is supported is formed of the stalks and leaves of thistles, and the leaves spread out beneath it. On the base is a group, consisting of a deer newly killed, and two deer dogs, by which its death has been occasioned. These dogs are portraits of two celebrated hounds in the possession of Lord Bessborough, her Majesty's Master of the Buck-hounds...The base rests upon a plinth of ebony, festooned with oak-leaves in silver, supporting shields, left blank for the name and arms of the owner of the successful horse'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850
