Hi Everyone! I am Amy, one of the Moderators here at Secondhandsquad.net. Part of that role is to assist with any questions you may have, so fire away! I am from Columbus, Ohio and love thrifting and perusing our local antique stores! I enjoy pieces that remind me of my grandparents and love the hunt of finding unique treasures to bring into my home. While I love the reselling business, I find my joy in giving new life to old pieces and sharing that with others.
Horse brasses are decorative metal ornaments, typically made of polished brass, that were historically attached to the harness of horses, particularly in Britain. They served as a form of adornment, especially for working horses, and were often seen during parades, fairs, and other public events. The designs varied widely, featuring animals, floral motifs, heraldic symbols, and even advertising for businesses.
This particular horse brass depicts a horse with a prominent, flowing mane, a common motif. The horseshoe shape itself is symbolic of good luck. The presence of what might be a maker's mark or a brewery association, such as "Whitbread," suggests it could be a collectible piece with historical significance beyond its decorative function, possibly indicating its use on a brewery dray horse.
