Antique 1920's Scottish Bullseye Square Topped Hinged Sporran
Antique 1920's Scottish Bullseye Square Topped Hinged Sporran
Antique 1920’s Scottish Bullseye Square Topped Hinged Sporran
Vintage sporran with a hinge Jacobite style silver plated sporran cantle featuring the classic 18th century bullseye design. Full opening back pouch.
Originally made by Highland wear outfitter Rowan & Co, Glasgow and owned by a member of the Incorporation of Bonnetmakers & Dyers of Glasgow. The original fur front was badly worn, so we carefully replaced the fur with a similar Musquash fur. The internal and back section of the bag are 100% original. The cantle plate has some minor wear, but we wanted the sporran to retain it’s original look so this has been carefully cleaned and not be over restored. The hinge and knob catches also had the bullseye pattern on them in addition to the bullseye pattern on the top edge of the cantle. This design element can be seen on a few of the original 18th century cantles.
In great 1920’s vintage restored condition.
Supplied with a new leather sporran strap.

A Sporran is a pouch (Scottish Gaelic for ‘purse’). Now a decorative part of Highland dress, it was originally an everyday practical item. Made of leather or fur, it usually has more or less elaborate silver or other ornamentation, especially on the clasp or hanger. It is worn on a chain or belt around the waist, allowing the sporran to lie below the waist of the person wearing a kilt.
