He came out from Manchester, England, part of a deceased estate and probably around 100 years old, give or take.
He's well carved but I think maybe a home made creation. He's a bit banged up here and there, he has his original horse hair tail and old roofing iron nails for eyes. I was thinking I might like to do him up a bit ( yes, I know, naughty me) but having seen him in the house I now like his rustic character.
Not quite Black Beauty but definitely handsome!
Lucky Harry to have found his was into such a lovely home. Love your second photo - everything on your table is so pretty x
ReplyDeleteOoooh no, you're not allowed to "do him up a bit" these days. The Collectors Police will be after you! I think he's delightful, and what's wrong with home made creations anyway. Yours and mine both are. :) cheers, Kaite
ReplyDeleteLove this horse - it's really nice. And I like that it is a bit banged up here and there. It's charming. :)
ReplyDeleteI love Harry - what a great find! Leigh
ReplyDeleteI love this horse - it's a great piece. I like his knocks and scratches - give him his character.
ReplyDeleteBy the way - Molly is just gorgeous!
My naughty golden retriever Woody would love to play with her!
