In 2010, L.V. Harkness was selected to create the offcial trophies for the World Equestrian Games. The trophies were inspired by the beauty of the horse and the spirit of the Bluegrass. And once again, L.V. Harkness is creating the offcial trophies for the National Horse Show, and is sure to create trophies as unique and graceful as the event itself. In 1819, Lamon Vanderburg Harkness purchased Walnut Hall Stock Farm near Lexington, Kentucky. He transformed Walnut Hall into the foremost Standardbred breeding and racing establishment in the world with a keen eye and uncompromising taste. When he wasn’t working to improve the standardbred breed or dabbling with a little enterprise called Standard Oil, he was sailing the seven seas on his yacht named Wakiva — on the hunt for rare and
fne accoutrements to adorn his homes. Lamon Vanderburg Harkness’ adventurous spirit lives on in his great-granddaughter, Meg Jewett —it’s her turn at the helm. When she’s not rescuing horses from slaughter, she travels the globe seeking the unusual “wants” and unique “must haves” that add so much spice to life. It is with great family pride that she shares these treasures at L.V. Harkness & Co. — the luxury retail destination she owns, named after her great-grandfather, of course. Nestled in downtown Lexington, L.V. Harkness & Co. indulges clients, gift-givers and brides-to-be worldwide with distinguished gifts, trophies, registries and awards. The storefront is a carefully curated blend of southern hospitality, traditional sensibilities and equestrian lifestyle. L.V. Harkness has an array of impressive brands including Meissen, Buccellati, Daum, Moser, Simon Pearce, Herend, Baccarat, and Grainger McKoy. In March of 2010 L.V. Harkness & Co. launched their lines of fne stationery and in-house printing services. With all of its offerings L.V. Harkness continues its journey to fnd and provide luxurious beauty around the world.
