Vintage Horse Brass Collection

This lot comprises a selection of vintage and antique horse brasses. These decorative brass ornaments were traditionally hung on horse harnesses, originally serving a practical purpose of counterbalancing the weight of the harness bells and preventing chafing, but evolving into a display of the owner’s status and taste. The collection showcases a variety of designs, including floral motifs, heraldic emblems, and scenes depicting rural life, reflecting the craftsmanship and artistry of the period.

Condition and Collectability

The brasses exhibit signs of age and wear consistent with their antique nature, including patina and minor surface imperfections. These imperfections contribute to their character and authenticity, appealing to collectors of equestrian memorabilia and folk art. This assortment offers a unique opportunity to acquire a piece of history and add to an existing collection or begin a new one, showcasing the rich heritage of horse-drawn transport.
