This freestanding decorative sculpture is an Arts and Crafts model of a rearing horse, dating from 1890. Rendered in dark brown leather, the piece incorporates fitted metal hardware for the stitched harness, inset glass eyes, and detailed anatomical modelling across the muscular body and head. The entire construction is finished in a dark brown tone, showing visible hairline cracks to the leather and authentic original surface wear. The object measures 45 cm high, 30 cm wide, and 13 cm deep, making it a compact decorative accessory. It sits well on an office desk or within a gentleman's library setting to add period character to a modern interior scheme.

FAQs

During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the Arts and Crafts movement emphasised handcrafted materials and naturalistic forms. Leather models from this period typically feature hand-moulded leather stretched over a shaped core, capturing detailed muscular structures and equestrian tack.

These sculptures were made by shaping wet, pliable leather over an internal frame or core crafted from wood, plaster, or papier-mache. Details such as glass eyes, stitched leather reins, and small metal rivets were added to create realistic proportions.

Authentic period pieces show natural surface patination, hand-stitched seams, and age-appropriate wear around high-friction areas like the ears, reins, and hooves. The internal structure often reveals historical materials rather than synthetic fillers.

Place the item on a dark wood desk, mantelpiece, or bookshelf to act as a decorative accent. Combining it with vintage books, brass desk accessories, or natural wood surfaces creates a cohesive scheme.

Keep the sculpture away from direct sunlight, radiators, and high humidity to prevent the leather from drying or cracking. Clean gently with a soft dry cloth and apply specialist leather conditioner sparingly when required.
