Bells

Part of the collection: Vehicles and harnesses

Popularization note

Neck bells, beginning of the 20th century Among the historic purchases of the Castle Museum of Łańcut, presented primarily in the parade harness room of the castle stables, there are complete and partial tacks purchased by the museum – which thus created an interesting collection of horse tacks from the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries; these were used primarily in court trains. Among them, the museum has an interesting collection of horse bells. Among the bells used for winter rides, the museum collection has two types – saddlepad bells fixed to saddlepads at the tack, or two the saddlepads themselves, and neck bells. The ones described here are parade, ball-shaped bells on a long, leather neck belt. The belt has wavy edges, and is made of two identical parts narrowing at the ends, framed on its front with burgundy velours, with red leather on the underside, and edges with white, varnished leather. On the face there are regularly applied nickel-clad bells, eight per part. The ends are on the undersides bound with narrow, leather bands with clasps, each has an ear with a large white and sapphire tail. Aldona Cholewianka-Kruszyńska
