**Item Description:**
Up for sale is a beautiful, 100% authentic matching pair of antique late 19th-century luxury horse carriage harness bridle rosette medallions (circa 1870s–1890s).
The face of each medallion features an exceptionally crisp, high-relief Art Nouveau monogrammed letter **"N"** set against a smooth brass background. Luxury hardware sets of this high caliber were custom-ordered by wealthy Gilded Age families to showcase their family initial on both sides of the horse's headstall.
The reverse of each piece features a wide, heavy-duty flat brass staple bar engineered specifically for a thick leather harness strap to slide through. The backplates are clearly stamped with the prestigious maker's mark: **"RIKER"**. Riker & Sons (Newark, New Jersey) was a world-famous American jewelry house that also produced premier, elite-grade brass appointments for the luxury carriage trade.
