Antique British Crescent Moon Horse Brass Medallion on Original Leather Strap
Product Description
Elevate your collection with this complete Antique Crescent Moon Horse Brass on Leather Martingale Strap. Imported directly from Great Britain and dating to the late 19th or early 20th century, this heavy cast brass medallion comes mounted to its authentic, dark brown leather hanging strap accented by a solid brass adjustment buckle.
Originally designed as a protective talisman to shield working heavy draft horses from bad luck, the prominent crescent "lunate" shape is a deeply symbolic folk art design. Having the brass preserved on its original leather harness strap adds immense value and display convenience, turning this historic equestrian piece into an instant wall-ready accent for English pub decor, equestrian displays, or curated primitive vignettes.

  • Authentic Late Victorian Craftsmanship: Heavy solid cast brass featuring a hand-polished front patina and a raw, dark textured reverse showing true casting marks.
  • Ready-to-Hang Wall Decor: The leather loop at the top makes it effortless to hang from a nail, peg, or hook immediately upon arrival.
