Collection of Antique Horse Brasses
This collection comprises a variety of antique horse brasses, showcasing intricate designs and craftsmanship. The lot includes decorative candlesticks, a door knocker, and a selection of traditional horse brasses, likely dating from the Victorian or Edwardian era. These brasses were originally attached to horse harnesses, serving both a practical purpose – counterweights – and a decorative one, reflecting the owner’s status and taste. The variety of motifs suggests a long history of collecting and display.
Condition and Collector Appeal
The brasses exhibit signs of age and wear, consistent with their antique status. Patination and minor imperfections are present, adding to their character and authenticity. This collection would appeal to collectors of equestrian memorabilia, antique brassware, or those seeking unique decorative items for a period home. The inclusion of a door knocker and candlesticks expands the potential display options beyond traditional harness decoration.
