A charming pair of Italian carved and polychromed wood models of rearing horses, late 18th/early 19th century.

Retaining their original polychrome decoration with the wear, losses, and mellow surface consistent with age. The hand-adzed, hollowed undersides confirm the early hand construction. A decorative and sculptural facing pair with genuine folk character.
