Offered here from the dougfinds collection of curated
fashion, accessories, clothing, collectibles, and unique gifts is this exceptional handmade
Western-style dog collar featuring braided construction, engraved silver-tone
tube beads, turquoise and silver-colored accent beads, and quality ITW Nexus
hardware.
This
is not your typical pet store collar.
The collar is
constructed from three braided strands decorated with beautifully engraved
silver-tone cylindrical tube beads separated by polished spacer beads and vivid
turquoise-colored accent beads, creating a classic Western/Southwestern look.
During inspection,
the decorative fiber wraps at each end were closely examined. The exposed
fibers exhibit the characteristics of natural animal hair rather than synthetic
material. While the exact species cannot be confirmed, the collar has the
appearance commonly associated with artisan horsehair tack and accessories.
Rather than overstate what cannot be proven, I'm simply presenting exactly what
I observed and allowing collectors and horse enthusiasts to draw their own
conclusions.
The engraved tube
beads feature an attractive geometric and scroll motif reminiscent of Western
tack and equestrian craftsmanship. They appear to be cast silver-tone
decorative components and show an attractive aged patina from normal use.
The collar is
finished with a genuine ITW Nexus side-release buckle, one of the
industry's best-known manufacturers of premium molded hardware, along with
welded metal rings for leash attachment.
Overall length
measures approximately 17 inches tip-to-tip and the decorative center
section measures approximately 1¼ inches wide, giving this collar an
impressive presence on medium to larger dogs.
Please review all photographs
carefully, as they are considered part of the description and provide the best
representation of this item's condition.
