Naive Early 18th Century Carved Figure of a Toy Horse

18th century
Description

A wonderful naive/primitive carved pitch pine figure of a horse, French circa early 1700’s. The base and wheels added some time in the 19th Century.

It would probably look even more stunning, for the purists, if the base was taken off and the horse displayed as a beautiful antique sculpture on its own, but we decided to leave this difficult decision to the buyer!

The horse shows historic repairs etc, but thankfully no past or present woodworm infestation. There are remains of the lower part of the ears which are in very thick leather.

The horse shows great presence, its naive shape and primitive construction are totally charming…

It stands some 83cm tall and it’s full length is 85cm.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

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.

Secure Transit

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.

The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

Wooden pull toys shaped like horses were handcrafted playthings produced from the seventeenth through nineteenth centuries, often carved by hand in local workshops or domestic settings.

They were typically fashioned from regional timber such as oak, pine, or fruitwood, mounted onto wooden bases with turned disc wheels and secured using simple iron pins or wooden dowels.

Authentic period pieces exhibit tool marks from hand carving, natural wear along axle points and wheels, uneven symmetry, and deep surface patination from handling over time.

These decorative objects work as standalone folk art accents when arranged on bookshelves, mantels, or sideboards alongside minimalist ceramics or modern framed artwork.

Keep the object in a dry climate-controlled environment away from direct heat sources, dust gently with a soft dry brush, and apply transparent beeswax sparingly to preserve the wood.
