Product description
Exceptional and extremely rare miniature Sculpture representing a rearing horse, a privileged witness to French folk art and high-end decorative art leather goods from the mid-20th century. In the tradition of prestigious collectible equestrian figures listed by specialized firms (such as those documented by the Jacqueline Adams International Gallery), this piece stands out due to an uncommon degree of refinement and technical specificities that set it apart. Unlike standard large collection formats (generally around 40 Cm with an elongated base), this model comes in an exclusive miniature format of 18 Cm, executed with infinite delicacy. Artatier Specifics and Details: * Material: Body crafted from white moleskin with a delicately "embossed" texture (offering a much livelier grain and relief than smooth versions), assembled with superb contrasting saddler stitching. * Structure: Extremely lightweight, the Sculpture rests on a rigid and light technical frame, maintained with goldsmith's precision to freeze the dynamic rearing movement. * Harness: Saddle, bridle, and straps made of genuine stitched leather, delicately adorned with rivets and superb star-shaped applications inlaid with mother-of-pearl or sequins. * Mane and Tail: Full mane and long flexible tail, offering a much fuller and livelier visual rendering than close-cropped versions. * Base: Fixed on an elegant carved wooden base in the shape of a compact horseshoe, adorned with decorative nails and mother-of-pearl discs, perfectly proportioned to the miniature's scale. Condition: Very good original conservation condition, testifying to the care taken by successive collectors of this highly coveted display piece. Dimensions 18/19 Cm Height 12/13 Cm Width Base Depth: 7 Cm Weight 72 Grams A unique piece of curiosity and collectible art, ideal for enlightened enthusiasts of design, fairground art objects, or high-quality equestrian pieces.
