Once used to adorn the proud harnesses of working draft horses, these vintage horse brasses carry the strength, beauty, and quiet craftsmanship of another time. Traditionally used in both functional and decorative ways, horse brasses were believed by some to offer protection or good luck — others simply loved them for their charm and shine.
Each piece is cast in solid brass, lovingly worn from age and use. Designs vary — from shields and hearts to suns, animals, and more — each one a small work of folk art.
You will receive one intuitively chosen brass from the collection. If you feel drawn to a particular symbol or shape, you’re welcome to leave a note at checkout or email — and we’ll do our best to match the brass that’s meant for you.
