FAQs

A horse brass martingale is a fitted leather strap adorned with decorative brass medallions, historically worn on the chest harness of heavy draught horses in Britain during the nineteenth century.

Authentic martingales consist of thick, vegetable-tanned harness leather fastened with iron or brass buckles, featuring heavy cast brass medallions secured through leather slots or studs.

Victorian horse brasses were heavy cast brass featuring hand-filed edges and small studs or lugs on the reverse side from the casting process, unlike light stamped modern reproductions.

These vertical leather straps are traditionally hung vertically near a fireplace hearth, within a chimney breast alcove, or on a narrow wall space to add warmth and historic texture to modern country-inspired rooms.

Treat the leather periodically with saddle soap or leather balm to prevent drying, while dusting the brass lightly with a soft microfiber cloth to retain its aged patina without letting metal polish degrade the leather.
