Vintage Gretna Green Brass Horse Brass
A charming piece of British equestrian history, this vintage brass horse brass features a classic horseshoe-inspired design with “GRETNA GREEN” prominently displayed at the center.
Traditionally, horse brasses were used to decorate working and carriage horses throughout Britain, eventually becoming beloved collectible pieces of English country décor. Gretna Green, a historic Scottish village just across the English border, is especially famous for its centuries-old tradition of runaway weddings.
The warm aged brass and naturally developed patina give this piece wonderful vintage character. Style it on its own, add a favorite twilly or ribbon, incorporate it into a gallery wall, or use it as a decorative accent on a felt hat for a unique equestrian-inspired look.
