Antique Swedish Brass Rump Sleigh Bells (3) on Original Leather Strap Graduated

Antique Swedish Brass Rump Sleigh Bells on Original Leather Strap, Graduated (3", 2 3/4", 2 1/2) This beautiful set of three large antique Swedish sleigh bells is mounted on its original, well-worn leather rump or hip strap. These bells are known for their unique "petal" or "pie-shaped" design, characterized by the distinct ridges and a narrow, six-part throat cut into the bell. This design gives them an authentic and unique tone.

Features: Design: Traditional Swedish style, also known as crotal or rumbler bells, historically used on horse-drawn sleighs or carriages as a safety feature and a sign of status. Bells: Three graduated brass bells, measuring approximately 3", 2 3/4", and 2 1/2 in diameter, offering varied and deep tones. Strap: The original, heavy-duty leather strap shows signs of age, including wear, cracking, and patina, which is typical for authentic antique pieces that were used functionally. Condition: These bells have a lovely aged patina, consistent with use over many decades, enhancing their rustic and primitive charm. The strap is still intact but shows expected wear.

Notes: A true vintage or antique collectible, this set is perfect for rustic home decor, a primitive Christmas display, or for a collector of vintage horse tack. Please review all photos carefully to assess the condition of both the bells and the leather strap.
