Antique Carved & Painted Dalarna Horse
Ref: 3881
Horses like this in a primitive form and with traditional colouring were made in Dalarna in Sweden for hundreds of years - post-1950 tourist made examples just don't have the same charm as the authentic. This one found in a cottage in Wales of all places has typical orange and blue colouring as found on dowry trunks and other Swedish folk art. The tooling, wear and patina especially to underside is also indicative of age.
