Small Antique Swedish Red-painted Horse in Wood, 1900th

About the Item

A peasant sculpture in the form of a small working, red-painted horse with a bushy mane and tail on a painted pedestal, beautifully carved and painted wood. On the underside, a text in pencil: Memory of Harald (probably the horse's name) Svabensverk, an industrial town in a small industrial town in southwestern Hälsingland. A county in Sweden known for its farms, with preserved cultural heritage values, listed on UNESCO's World Heritage List since 2012 (Decorated Farmhouses of Hälsingland). The horse is a typical example of folk art from the region. The small sculpture is full of charm and patina.

  • 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...
