order We chalk painted this antique leather horse for a clean and romantic look - all leather body, bridle, saddle with metal stirrups and glass eyes, embellished with two removable, hand sewn antique textile, laces and beads neck pieces (that's a fresh sprig of lilac from the garden that bloomed this week...). We added a small circle - wooden support to the left rear hoof so that she (we peeked) stands steady for your display.
We are not certain of age or provenance but have seen that leather horses were toys for those young ladies that loved horses, we think originated in Europe and found their way to the US.
Young horse lovers grow up and still love their horses - a gift for all ages and occasions.
A charming display for your home or store, a shelf, a counter, add a Christmas wreath or summer garland around the neck, an unexpected center piece in an antique wooden dough bowl filled with pine cones, small gourds or wild flowers.
