Capturing the elegance of a bygone era of travel, this early 20th-century hand-carved wooden horse and carriage model is a beautifully observed piece of decorative folk art. The horse is individually carved from wood with a warm, naturally aged patina, its harness rendered with careful attention to detail — a miniature portrait of equine dignity set in motion.
The carriage is fashioned from wood and painted in rich deep green tones, its surfaces dressed in felt for texture and realism, and set upon finely crafted spoked wooden wheels that lend authenticity of scale. The entire ensemble is presented on a painted wooden plinth — a self-contained tableau ready to be placed on a console, library shelf, or mantlepiece.
A charming and refined decorative object that reflects the early 20th-century tradition of handmade models — pieces crafted with equal measures of skill and affection, made to be both admired and displayed with pride. Measuring 21.5"W × 9.1"H.
