A vintage desk perpetual calendar housed within a polished metal frame styled after an English equestrian stirrup iron. The frame is constructed of chrome-plated metal or aluminum, featuring a textured grid pattern on the tread base. Mounted centrally within the stirrup frame is a stitched brown leather housing containing a manual slide perpetual calendar mechanism set into a small metal pocket. The visible calendar card displays the month “JANUARY” along with the days of the week and date numbers 1 through 31. Research suggests similar examples have been attributed to makers such as Mappin & Webb, placing this item within the category of luxury equestrian-themed desktop accessories.
