Cast Iron Horse Head with Hitching Ring on Oak Leaf Plaque

Every barn had one by the door. You looped the lead through the ring while you got the latch, and it hung there through however many owners the place went through after.

The head is cast full round, ears up, muzzle down, with a loose iron ring swinging free below the chin. It sits on a backplate of oak leaves and acorns, cut open between the lobes so the wall shows through. The casting seam runs down the center of the face, the way sand-cast iron does, and the black has gone flat and chalky in the recesses. Two countersunk holes in the plate, ready to hang.

Each piece is vintage or antique and has lived a life before finding its way to Tallmadge Ave; natural signs of age, wear, patina, and imperfections are part of its character and are to be expected. All pieces are sold as-is, and any notable condition issues are described in the product listing. That said, if it arrives damaged or isn't as described, we'll refund you in full, including shipping — since each piece is one of a kind, we can't simply send a replacement. Otherwise, returns are accepted within 14 days of delivery. Questions any time at christine@tallmadgeave.com — we're a two-person shop, and we answer.
