Original Red Painted Carved Wooden Horse, Sweden circa 1890
Located in Round Top, TX
It is the very worn look that creates the wonderful appeal of this original painted and carved horse from Sweden.
The brick red paint has been chipped and distressed while the tattered leather ears, parts missing to bridle and crackles to the old leather saddle missing one stirrup reflect a simpler time. Residual horse hair is seen which created the original tail and mane.
Sold in used vintage condition. Solid/stable.
Please examine the close up photos to understand condition and details, including worn paint, nicks, scratches, wood cracks and separation, missing parts, etc. Wonderful vintage display...
