Collection of Vintage Brass Horse Brasses

This lot comprises a collection of vintage brass horse brasses, traditionally used as decorative ornaments on horse harness. Approximately twelve pieces are shown, presented together on a light satin cloth. The group displays a variety of designs, making it an engaging assortment for those interested in equestrian collectables.

The brasses feature a range of motifs. Several depict horse heads set within horseshoe frames, while others show a windmill, a beehive, a pair of figures in a scalloped border, a dog or large cat, and a pierced design with horses and a carriage. Some pieces have openwork edges, and others have a raised, embossed relief. Most have a hanging loop or strap fitting on the reverse or top edge. No makers’ marks are visible in the photographs, so the origin of the individual pieces is not stated.

Condition and Collector Appeal

The brasses show the surface wear and tarnish you would expect from pieces of this age, with a mellow patina across the group. Some edges and raised details appear slightly worn, and the finish varies from piece to piece. Individual pieces should be examined closely on viewing. Their originality appears consistent with traditional horse brasses, and the mix of subjects makes this lot appealing to collectors of equestrian and rural memorabilia, as well as to buyers looking for characterful brass decor.
