Horse brass are the brass ornaments fixed to the vertical leather chest strap or other parts of a horse's harness. Horse owners from the late 19th Century onward have shown their pride in their horses by adorning harnesses with these frequently ornate and highly symbolic attachments. They make a fascinating collection, and remain hard enough to find to be highly valued and very much sought after. They originated in England as Gypsy amulets attached to horse tack in the hope of warding off evil spirits. We are excited to offer for sale from a private collection some truly unique and beautiful pieces, all are original-NOT recent recasts. Most date from about the 1880-90s are in original condition, we have not polished them, but left the original patina as the collector had them. These are highly decorative and make fascinating gifts! This particular horse brass has a Royalty theme having a lovely Queen Victoria Crown in the centre, very interesting authentic old horse brass that measures about 4 ½ inches by 3 ½ inches. Fabulous antique horse brass!
