Victorian Horse Brass
This is a Victorian horse brass, likely dating from the late 19th or early 20th century. The brass features intricate detailing, with a central crest and surrounding decorative elements. These brasses were originally attached to horse harnesses, serving both a decorative and practical purpose – the movement of the brasses would also help to deter flies. This particular example displays a crest with the words “To His Majesty” and “Gieves”.
Condition and Collectibility
The brass shows signs of age and wear, with some patina and minor surface imperfections consistent with its age. The attachment loops are intact, suggesting it has retained its original form. Horse brasses are popular collectibles, and this example, with its royal connection and detailed design, would be of interest to collectors of equestrian memorabilia, Victorian antiques, or brassware.
