For your consideration in this lot is a matching pair and a single glass domed bridle rosette. Glass Rosettes are a decoration for a bridle that first became popular in the Victorian days (late 1800-early 1900). They used colorful artwork. Over the years bridle rosettes became advertising tools also as several companies used them to advertise their company information. Very few pairs of these have survived over the years. Often you can only find a single rosette that is in decent shape. This is a lot of a very nice pair and a single rosette. These rosettes are in good condition. On the face of the pair of rosettes is a cowboy riding his horse getting ready to fire his gun on a gold background. The face of the single rosette shows a pink Victorian tea rose. The cowboy glass fish eye rosettes are on brass mountings. The Victorian Tea Rose fish eye glass rosette is mounted on tin and stamped on the back A. Chapman Box 8505 White Bear Lake, Minn. The rosettes measure 1 3/4" across and are in good condition.
