About the Item

A wooden decorative sculpture of a horse created in early 20th century France. Playfully painted, and caught mid-pose, this charming horse exudes a sense of gracefully decorative flair. The posture of the horse communicates a contrapposto pose, as if it’s been caught while striding across a field. The old white paint that adorns its surface has slowly ebbed away over the years, creating a fascinating patina which blooms around the horse’s edges.
