Description: This is a gorgeous antique victorian horse brass martingale. ca 1880s. Produced in Great Britain. The black leather strap is adorned with a single brass diamond and 3 ceramic pot brass medallions with a central sun detail. Ceramic medallions are harder to find on the collector market and the patriotic color combination of red, white, and blue is very rare. A Martingale on a heavy horse, attaches by the means of a loop (which the girth passes through), and affixes to the bottom of the collar to prohibit too much movement. In the horse brass era, this strap became something of a focal point as part of the decorated, or show harness, and became a prime place to attach brasses. The word, Martingale literally translated simply means, "strap" and was a term used for this piece of harness-ware by horsemen for many years.Measurements:Length- 40-52''Width- 4.25''Medallion diameter- 3.25''Ceramic center- 1.5''**Please note…The item featured is not new…it is antique and therefore will have some of the imperfections that are expected with age and history.
