{"product_id":"vintage-leather-martingale","title":"Vintage Leather Martingale","description":"\u003cp\u003eA characterful vintage leather martingale hung with three cast brass horse brasses, each showing a horse's head framed within a lucky horseshoe. The top brass shows a front-facing horse in its bridle, the middle a spirited horse with a flowing mane in a nailed horseshoe, and the bottom a horse's head in profile. Martingales like this once decorated the harness of working heavy horses. Today they make a wonderful display piece hung beside a fireplace or log burner, in a country pub or home bar, a farmhouse kitchen, hallway or tack room. It makes a lovely gift for horse lovers and anyone who enjoys traditional English country style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDETAILS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eItem: Leather martingale with horse brasses\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Brass and leather\u003cbr\u003eNumber of brasses: 3\u003cbr\u003eDesigns: Horse heads within horseshoe frames\u003cbr\u003eLength: Approx. 35 cm \/ 13.8\" (including top strap and buckle)\u003cbr\u003ePeriod: Vintage, mid-20th century\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCONDITION\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood vintage condition with honest signs of age.
