French Decorative Horse in Moleskin with Saddle and Harness, 20th Century

Offered by: Jacqueline Adams Antiques

Description
Charming and sculptural, this French decorative horse from the 20th century captures the elegance and vitality of equestrian form. Covered in soft moleskin, the figure rests on a black horseshoe-shaped wooden base and is poised in a rearing stance, full of motion and character. Fine stitched detailing outlines the contours of the body, while the leather harness and blue saddle add contrast and realism. The craftsmanship reflects the refined artistry of mid-century decorative sculpture—graceful, tactile, and distinctly French. Whether placed atop a console, desk, or mantel, this piece evokes a sense of nobility and nostalgia, reminiscent of the decorative objects once found in Parisian ateliers and equestrian estates. A rare and beautifully preserved example of French decorative craftsmanship, blending playful dynamism with sophisticated restraint.

This is an antique and having been around for a long time, it will show signs of wear. Antique pieces have very much sought-after character and associated flaws. Please review photos for condition & contact us with questions!
