SET OF 4 Vintage FOUR-IN-HAND HORSE & CARRIAGE Porcelain Brasses WOW YOUR WALLS!

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.I am putting up for sale several vintage porcelain and ceramic harness brasses. The ceramic and porcelain brasses were primarily made for ornamental purposes. All have some sort of wear, could have small spots, pimples, crazing, tiny chips and so on. Please look at photos carefully. Many of these are very unique and and are becoming harder and harder to find. Are wonderful collectibles and are unique gifts. All will look great hanging on the wall.
