Vintage English Brass Prince of Wales Feathers Horse Brass, Harness Ornament (Copy)

A traditional British horse brass featuring the distinctive Prince of Wales’s feathers emblem, with three upright plumes rising from a coronet, framed within a decorative openwork border. Acquired in England, this charming piece reflects the heritage of ornamental brass plaques traditionally attached to the leather harnesses of working and carriage horses.

The heraldic design, scalloped outline, and warm golden brass finish give this piece timeless English character. The Prince of Wales’s feathers are a longstanding emblem associated with the heir to the British throne, adding an interesting royal connection to this equestrian collectible.

Horse brasses became especially popular in England during the 19th and early 20th centuries, and today they are collected as reminders of traditional British rural life. This example would make a lovely addition to a horse brass collection or an accent for an English country interior, library, or equestrian display.
