This vintage book contains a detailed guide to horse-brasses, first published in 1928. Horse brasses are decorative brass plaques used to adorn horses harnesses, most commonly shire and parade horses. From the mid-19th century they became incredibly popular, but experienced a significant decline in popularity along with that of the draft horse. Today, they exist predominantly as collectors items. “All About Horse Brasses” looks at the history of these beautiful equestrian adornment, as well as notable examples, producers, and more. This book is highly recommended for collectors and antiques dealers. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on horse brasses.

Horse brasses are flat, generally round, ornaments for decorating the harness of draught horses. First devised as charms to keep the animal safe, brasses later became purely decorative. This book traces the history of horse brasses, from the plain, simple early examples through to the more advanced brasses that were developed as our knowledge of brass casting improved. Packed with over 200 photographs of different horse brasses, this classic title is an ideal collector's introduction, and a section on the care, cleaning and renovation of horse brasses makes this essential reading for new collectors.
