1888 Ivory Handled Sidesaddle Whip - Sold
This long slim whip has an ivory and silver handle.
It is antique, so can be legally sold in the UK but would be very difficult to export.

The collar has a shield which is engraved with a monogram and the date 1888.
Between the collars the handle is made of ivory carved to resemble holly.
The long tapering whalebone shaft is covered in braided thread, this is frayed around its lower third, but could be lacquered to prevent further fraying.
