HORSE BRASSES: My find on Portobello Road today

Filed under: antique markets,antiques,Portobello Road — tmooresr @ 2:48 pm

Several years ago, I started gathering interesting horse brasses.  I stated gathering the brasses which celebrated important events or tourist attractions.  Then I found that really old brasses were available which interested me more.  Over the years, I have collected quite an impressive collection which I display on the huge beam over our mantel at our mountain home.  I love them dearly, and they remind me of my many trips to London.  Well, today, I was talking to a brass dealer on Portobello Road who now has the stall where my Danish dealer sat for years.  He told me that he had acquired a few old horse brasses from a farm in Norfolk.  Let me tell you, my ears perked up, and I was eager to see them.  I was thrilled when the dealer offered to sell them to me.  They will go home with me and will join my other HORSE BRASSES on my cabin mantel.  Exciting stuff.
