This folk art sculpture takes the form of an antique toy horse, dating from the 1920 period. The piece uses a combination of wood, gesso, paint, and horsehair. Finished with a cream and grey dapple paint scheme over a distressed gesso surface, the horse includes carved wooden legs, a carved red saddle detail on its back, and a white horsehair tail. Visible signs of age include heavy wear and flaking of the painted gesso coating across the body, dark hooves, and an original surface patina. Measuring 48 cm in width, 41 cm in height, and 10 cm in depth, this rustic farmhouse sculpture suits display in a home today upon a mantelpiece.

FAQs

Carved wooden horses were produced predominantly throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, initially crafted by hand as childrens toys or display models before industrial toy manufacturing became widespread.

These figures were typically carved from softwoods such as pine or lime, coated in a plaster-like gesso base, and finished with oil paint, leather harness details, and genuine horsehair tails.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-carved knife or chisel marks, organic paint craquelure, multiple underlying gesso layers, and natural wear patterns where hand contact occurred over time.

Designers position these sculptures as textural accent pieces on mantelpieces, bookshelves, or sideboards, contrasting the aged patina against neutral backdrops.

Keep the object in a climate-controlled environment away from direct sunlight, dust gently with a soft microfibre cloth, and avoid liquids or harsh chemical polishes that could strip unstable gesso or original paint.
