Beautiful Vintage Horse Harness Brass from England Rare HORSE HEADS ALL AROUND

Description

Horse brasses were used to adorn the harness horses, primarily in the UK, many would identify the route, simply for decoration, royalty, different industries such as train or brewery and some, I am sure, were just made out of fondness for a likeness or animal. Some older brasses were worn on harness, others were just made primarily to commemorate a certain event. It is hard to date many of the harness brasses, yet you can get an idea from the patina as well as how well the brass is cast. You can sometimes tell from the darkness on the reverse, from the brass slapping against the leather of the harness, but some people clean their brasses often, so this is not always a tell tale sign. Stamped brasses are from the early 1900's and only up to the 1930's. Most brasses you come across were cast and often the getts (the holder for the casting) is left partly on the back of the brass. I find horse brasses lovely and intriguing. All of the brasses I offer for sale are from England.
Here is a beautiful vintage Horse Harness Brass called horses in the round or horses all around and has 12 horse heads in a circle and one in the middle. This is a pretty rare brass these days, I used to see more of them, though not often, 10 years ago. Great addition to your collection.
This measures 3 3/8" X 4".
