Folk Art Beautifully Hand Carved and Painted Horse Sculpture, United States

About the Item

FOLK ART PAINTED AND CARVED WOOD HORSE 20th century, unsigned, designed to be entirely disassembled Item # 305FEB10P An incredibly fun and playful carved and painted folk art horse, it is a clever design that entirely disassembles. It utilizes tenons for three legs and a slot dovetail for the half-bent front leg, the tail attaching with a dowel and the head lifting off - all elements assemble or disassemble without any joinery or even pegs, using pressure fits only. The body of the horse is beautifully carved with a whimsical motif and painting throughout. The surface is heavily patinated and shows delightful wear throughout from years of enjoyment. Probably from the first half of the 20th century. Measurements: 25 1/2" H x 8" D x 24 1/4" W Condition Report: Repair to the slot dovetail of the raised leg, extensive wear and loss of paint to the surface throughout including chipping and wear to the wood throughout. Paint not examined under UV for originality/inpainting, but we certainly can upon request.

  • French Antique Bronze Sculpture “Halting Stallion” Horse by Pierre Lenordez
    Located in Shippensburg, PA
    PIERRE LENORDEZ French, 1815-1892 A Halting Stallion Patinated sand-cast bronze Signed in cast "P. Lenordez" cast circa 1860 Item # 306GRT17P A rare example of Pierre Lenordez's early work, this fine sand-cast bronze model of a halting stallion showcases the powerful animal as he is stopping his forward motion, rearing slightly as he shifts his weight to his back legs. The model is beautifully chased and a wonderful hammered texture to the hair and texture from the original wax mold replicated in the bronze under the translucent brown surface patina. The model is signed on the back corner of the naturalistic base in his typical script, "P. Lenordez". Born in Saint-Vaast-la-Hougue, in the district of Manche in northwestern France, Pierre Lenordez eventually established himself in Caen where he would become a professor and teach at the Fine Arts Academy of Caen for a decade, accepting under his tutelage the Romantic sculptor of renown Arthur Jacques Leduc...
