French 20th Century Decorative Moleskin Horse Sculpture with Blue Saddle in Rearing Pose
Among the most spirited of a series of French mid-century decorative horses crafted in soft moleskin, this cream-toned figure rears dramatically on its hind legs — a pose that captures the raw dynamism and nobility of the horse in full vitality. Set atop a black horseshoe-shaped wooden base, the sculpture is mounted with evident care, its stitched moleskin body offset by a richly detailed leather harness and a distinctive blue saddle that lends a vivid pop of color to the composition.
The combination of materials — supple moleskin, hand-stitched detailing, leather tack — speaks to the tactile, artisan sensibility of French mid-century decorative craftsmanship. This is a piece conceived not merely as an object to display, but as a sculptural presence: equally at home on a library shelf, a console table, or a gentleman's study mantel. Its rearing posture gives it an energy that catches the eye from any angle.
A beautifully preserved example of a particularly French tradition of the decorative animal sculpture. Measuring 9.1"W × 5.3"D × 16.1"H. French, 20th century.
