19 C. Silver Mounted Horse Bridle – Georgia

Horses always played an important role in everyday life of the warrior. Status symbols of choice were horse saddles harnesses, bridles and other parts and were elaborately decorated to convey personal wealth.

The bridle part of the harness offered here is Georgian late 19 C. All the leather straps and other parts of the bridle are mounted with chased silver links (Reminding in a way the silver links of Georgian belts), engraved silver buttons, small silver bells, silver chains and eye drops shaped silver medallions.

Rare item. Georgian late 19C. Very good condition. Bit is missing.
