A large Indo-Persian processional horse model originates from the late 19th or early 20th century. The hardwood body exhibits a warm brown finish with carved details including a hand-carved mane, standing on turned cylindrical legs. The sculpture wears an elaborate maximalist textile arrangement consisting of woven wool, silk, animal hair tassels, braids, pom poms, beads, and cowrie shells in red, black, green, and cream hues. These accoutrements date from the early to mid 20th century. The piece measures 93 cm high, 85 cm wide, and 20 cm deep. This sculptural object finds a natural placement on a sideboard top to enrich an Eastern orientalist or country house interior. The multi-textured harness and embroidered saddlecloth display intricate beadwork and shell embellishments across the flanks and chest. The animal stands with head held high, outfitted in full ceremonial regalia that creates a visually rich display.

FAQs

Dust the wooden elements gently with a dry microfibre cloth, and use a low-suction vacuum with a soft brush attachment covered in gauze to clean the delicate textiles without pulling threads or dislodging beads.

Position the sculpture as a focal point on a hallway console table, a wide sideboard, or a deep window sill to allow its detailed textile ornamentation and carved profile to contrast against neutral backdrops.

Authentic examples feature hand-carved wood showing natural age shrinkage and iron or wooden peg joinery, combined with genuine hand-loomed textiles displaying age-appropriate patination and surface wear.

These sculptures are typically carved from dense native hardwoods such as teak or rosewood, then embellished with woven woollen trappings, embroidered textiles, cowrie shells, glass beads, and stamped metal ornaments.

Processional or ceremonial horse models are traditional decorative carvings created across Northern India and Persia, often used in festive celebrations, rituals, or weddings to represent prestige and status.
