Vintage Horse Martingale & Brasses
This lot features two vintage leather Martingales, likely used for controlling a horse’s head carriage, and a collection of decorative horse brasses. The Martingales exhibit a classic design, constructed from sturdy leather, and show signs of use consistent with their age. The brasses are intricately detailed, depicting various symbols and motifs commonly associated with equestrian life, and would have been attached to a horse’s harness for ornamentation and identification.
Condition & Collectibility
These items present as found, with expected wear and patina commensurate with age and use. The leather shows creasing and some surface wear, while the brasses exhibit varying degrees of tarnish and wear. Despite this, the pieces retain their character and appeal, making them desirable for collectors of equestrian memorabilia, antique tack, or those seeking unique decorative items with a historical connection to horsemanship.
