Framed Vintage Equestrian Needlepoint Horse Portrait, Signed & Dated 1978
Located in Oklahoma City, OK
This vintage equestrian needlepoint portrait (signed “78 SH”) captures the soulful expression and classic profile of a bay horse, rendered in rich warm tones with a beautifully detailed bridle. The piece is fully hand-stitched—thousands of individual wool stitches create a striking, textural surface that feels both nostalgic and graphic. Framed in its original 1970s walnut-stained wooden frame, the artwork has charming age, light patina, and the authentic character that collectors of Americana and needlepoint art adore. The backing shows age wear, consistent with its vintage nature, and the frame displays minor surface scuffs appropriate for its age. This piece is ideal for equestrian-themed interiors, traditional libraries, rustic lodge spaces, children’s rooms, mudrooms, Ralph Lauren aesthetics or anywhere that could use a warm, heritage-leaning moment. It layers beautifully with trophies, vintage horse ribbons, leather goods, and antique sporting art. Styling Ideas Hang in a gallery wall with brass-framed horse prints...
