About the Item

An exceptional, painted American trade sign made from carved wood in the full-bodied form of a race horse’s head. Wonderful movement, tremendous folk character and great early paint surface. Found in San Francisco, this carving probably marked a blacksmith’s or harness shop. Made circa 1880-1890. Mounting: The previous owner had a taxidermist apply a wall mount that allows for easy hanging. Condition: Perhaps there were once blinders over the eyes, but if so they are now absent.
