Original Description
The Westchester Cup Played at the Hurlingham Club by Gilbert Holiday (1879-1937) captures the elegance and dynamism of British polo culture in the early 20th century. Painted in Holiday’s refined sporting style, the work depicts aristocrats and skilled players mid-match at London’s prestigious Hurlingham Club—a hub for high society leisure. Holiday’s crisp brushwork and attention to equine anatomy reflect his academic training alongside Frank Calderon, while the lively composition—all rearing horses and swirling mallets—channels the energy of British Impressionism. As one of the artist’s major commissions documenting Britain’s sporting heritage, it holds historical significance for preserving the golden age of polo before WWI while exemplifying how sporting art transcended mere documentation to become social commentary.
For interiors, this oil painting (typical dimensions around 90x120cm) commands attention as a statement piece above mantels or in wood-paneled studies. Its muted greens, earthy tones and pops of players’ crimson jackets pair beautifully with Chesterfield leather furniture and brass accents. In corporate spaces, select a prominent wall in a reception area or executive office—the Hurlingham Club connection subtly signals prestige. Complement with vintage polo memorabilia or framed equestrian prints arranged symmetrically. Opt for gilded frames to enhance its aristocratic aura in traditional décor, or sleek black molding for contemporary contrast. The ideal hanging height centres the focal polo mallet swing at eye level (approx. 145cm from floor), ensuring the dynamic action engages viewers entering the room.
