Description from the seller
Collection of 13 British Cast Horse Brasses, c. 1880–1915
Description
Interesting collection of 13 traditional British cast horse brasses, mounted on three aged green leather display straps.
The collection includes a particularly varied selection of named and regional designs:
* Windsor Grey
* Stag
* Shire Horse
* Lion Passant
* Manx Cat
* Scottish Thistle
* Rearing Stallion
* Queen Elizabeth I
* Cornish Pixie
* Cockington Forge
* Poole Dolphin
* Jumbo the Elephant
* Sailing Ship Under Way
The brasses are substantial cast brass examples, with irregular cast surfaces and aged patination. Several designs are known historical horse-brass patterns, including Jumbo the Elephant, Cockington Forge and Windsor Grey.
The collection is estimated to date predominantly from approximately 1880–1915, although individual patterns may have continued to be produced later.
The three green leather strips appear to have been used to display or assemble the brasses decoratively, rather than necessarily representing original working harness.
Each brass measures approximately 80–90 mm.
Condition: Aged condition with natural patina, oxidation and wear. The leather is worn and aged. Please study the photographs carefully.
A highly decorative and unusual collection of traditional British horse brasses with strong Royal, regional, maritime and folkloric themes.
