Antique Glass domed Leopard Appaloosa bridle rosette conchos
Step into the elegance of the early 1900s with these striking antique horse bridle rosette conchos, featuring a vivid image of a leopard Appaloosa horse captured beneath a thick, domed glass face.
These conchos tell a story—not just of the horse they adorned, but of the person who once selected them. Likely a well-respected horseman or carriage owner would have chosen these rosettes as a mark of pride, status, and admiration for the horse. The brilliant colors and dynamic scene weren’t merely decorative—they were a form of identity in a time when every detail mattered.
Constructed with a solid brass backing and thick domed glass front, these rosettes remain in remarkable condition for their age. The hand-soldered loop and natural patina confirm its authenticity. These rosettes were made for horse tack by skilled American makers, especially in the Northeast.
