Horse brass

Horse brass are decorative metal ornaments historically used as horse harness fittings, often made from brass or other metals. They served both functional and aesthetic purposes—strengthening harnesses and showcasing craftsmanship, status, or regional identity. Over time, horse brasses became collectible decorative objects, appreciated for their intricate designs, including motifs like animals, emblems, or symbols. Today, they are valued as vintage collectibles and decorative items, representing a nostalgic connection to traditional horse-drawn transportation and rural life.
