Originating primarily in the 19th century, these polished ornaments were designed to display pride of ownership, ward off evil spirits, and bring good fortune to the working animals. Smiths and specialist foundries produced them in thousands of distinct patterns, commemorating royal jubilees, agricultural achievements, and popular animals.\nCrafted initially through traditional sand casting and later via stamping methods, these brasses became highly collectible following the decline of working horses in the mid-20th century. Enthusiasts often mounted them on leather straps to display on hearths or walls, preserving a rich folk art tradition. The variety of designs—ranging from domestic livestock and exotic animals to heraldic symbols—reflects the diverse cultural tapestry of the Victorian and Edwardian eras.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeriod:\u003c\/strong\u003e Victorian Era, Late 19th Century\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Birmingham, England\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Angel Lane Manor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54049196802355,"sku":"ALM-BRS-0043","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0987\/0137\/7843\/files\/Curio_-_Vintage_Horse_Brasses.png?v=1788980631","url":"https:\/\/angellanemanor.com\/products\/antique-horse-brasses-collection","provider":"Angel Lane Manor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
