🐎 ABOUT THIS COLLECTIBLE LOT (AUTHENTIC SAND-CAST FOUNDRY BRASSES):
Up for grabs is a fantastic, highly detailed 6-piece lot of vintage solid brass horse harness medallions (traditionally known as horse brasses). Originally used in 19th and 20th-century England to adorn the heavy leather harnesses of Shire and parade horses, these medallions have become iconic symbols of British folk history.
This lot features a wonderful variety of highly detailed pictorial and geometric designs, including:
1. Harlech Castle (Historic Welsh fortress ruins)
2. Lincoln Cathedral (Iconic architectural banner)
3. Traditional English Windmill
4. Perched Owl in a Crescent Moon
5. Standing Forest Stag / Deer
6. Openwork Rosette / Geometric Clover Pattern
🛠️ TECHNICAL CASTING HALLMARKS (FOUNDRY GETTS):
Unlike cheap, flat modern factory-stamped souvenirs, these are true heavy sand-cast foundry brasses. The reverse sides feature distinct, authentic manufacturing traits sought out by antiquarian collectors: visible raised foundry stubs (traditionally known as \"getts\" or runner marks) where the liquid brass entered the sand mold, combined with a beautiful rustic, sand-textured reverse finish. These heavy brass pieces carry spectacular character and look beautiful hung on leather martingales, displayed on straps, or mounted directly to walls for classic English pub, tavern, country cottage, or barn decor!
⚠️ EXHAUSTIVE CONDITION REPORT:

Please review the high-resolution photos for an exact look at the front and back cosmetic state.
