A Hand Carved Study of a Belgian Draught Horse Stallion.

1920 - 1940
Description

This exquisitely carved study of a Belgian draught horse dates to circa 1930 and is hand carved in dense beech wood. It is a very detailed sculpture, and the artist has captured this muscular heavy horse superbly. He is well groomed with a well presented tail, mane, and beautifully feathered feet. His expression shows a fine temperament and good pedigree.

The sculpture is displayed on a fixed naturalistic base which has rounded ends and a textured carved surface.

This piece is in good condition with a rich colour and waxed patina.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

The Animalier style emerged in nineteenth-century Europe, focusing on accurate anatomical representation and realism in depicting domestic and wild animals. Sculptors emphasised naturalistic proportions, posture, and muscular structure rather than stylized or allegorical forms.

Craftsmen predominantly selected dense hardwoods with fine grains such as oak, mahogany, walnut, and boxwood. These woods allow for intricate detailing of facial features, manes, and muscle definition while maintaining structural stability over time.

Authentic hand-carved pieces display slight irregularities in depth, chisel tool marks along contoured surfaces, and variation in carved details. Modern reproductions often exhibit uniform machine-moulded seams, smooth spray-finished surfaces, and light, soft composite materials.

A wooden sculpture functions well as a focal accent on a structured surface such as a marble mantelpiece, a dark wood bookshelf, or a hallway console table. Pairing carved wooden items with glass, brass, or neutral linen creates a balanced contrast of textures.

Dust the sculpture regularly using a clean, dry microfibre cloth or soft natural brush to remove dirt from detailed crevices. Apply a thin layer of clear beeswax polish annually to nourish the timber, avoiding solvent-based cleaners or direct exposure to damp conditions and heat sources.
