A vintage horse brass depicting a Rooster. Historically, these brass plates were originally used as a decorative element on the harness of parade horses, popular in the 1800s. They retain a lot of collectible interest, though there is no known history along with this particular brass. Today, horse brasses make for a pretty wall display hung on ribbon, or even as Christmas ornaments for the horse-loving Anglophiles amongst us!
