The
SULTAN'S CUP
designed by Stefano Ricci
The Sultan’s Cup Trophy, exclusively designed and created by Stefano Ricci’s master silversmiths in the company’s atelier in the hills surrounding Florence.
The trophy is completely handcrafted in silver using ancient Florentine silversmithing techniques
handed down through centuries, such as sbalzo (embossment), where the artisan hammers a metal
sheet placed on a bed of pitch, giving three-dimensionality to the hand-drawn design before proceeding
to the delicate art of cesello (chiselled) finishing.
The trophy, which will be presented on the occasion of the prestigious Sultan’s Cup award by Safari Club International Middle East Chapter, features the Marco Polo Argali, the Leopard, the Elephant, and the Stag; It is a truly one-of-a-kind
work of art, designed and hand-crafted for the best hunter in the world.
