Hand-Carved Horses For Sale on 1stDibs
An assortment of hand-carved horses is available at 1stDibs. Frequently made of wood, stone and metal, all hand-carved horses available were constructed with great care. We have 325 antique and vintage hand-carved horses in-stock, while there are 13 modern editions to choose from as well. Hand-carved horses have been produced for many years, with earlier versions available from the 18th Century and newer variations made as recently as the 21st Century. Hand-carved horses made by folk art designers — as well as those associated with mid-century modern — are very popular at 1stDibs. Large hand-carved horses can prove too imposing for some spaces, so the smaller hand-carved horses available at 1stDibs — each spanning 1 inches in width — may make for a better choice. Many hand-carved horses are appealing in their simplicity, but Nils Olsson, Karl Hagenauer and Rajhastani produced popular hand-carved horses that are worth a look.
How Much are Hand-Carved Horses?
Prices for hand-carved horses start at $26 and top out at $160,837 with the average selling for $1,993.
Finding the Right Animal Sculptures for You
Invite the untamed wonders of the animal kingdom into your home — and do so safely — with the antique, new and vintage animal sculptures available on 1stDibs.
Artists working in every medium from furniture design to jewelry to painting have found inspiration in wild animals over the years. For sculptors, three-dimensional animal renderings — both realistic and symbolic — crisscross history and continents. In as early as 210 B.C., intricately detailed terracotta horses guarded early Chinese tombs, while North America’s native Inuit tribes living in the ice-covered Arctic during the 1800’s wore small animal figurines carved from walrus ivory. Indeed, animal sculpture has a long history, and beginning in the 19th century, the art form started becoming not only fashionable but artistically validated — a trend that continues today. At home, animal sculptures — polished bronze rhinos crafted in the Art Deco style or ceramic dogs of the mid-century modern era — can introduce both playfulness and drama to your decor.
In the case of the frosted glass sculptures crafted by artisans at legendary French glassmaker Lalique, founded by jeweler and glass artist René Lalique, some animal sculptures are purely decorative. With their meticulously groomed horse manes and detailed contours of their parakeet feathers, these creatures want to be proudly displayed. Adding animal sculptures to your bookcases can draw attention to your covetable collection of vintage monographs, while side tables and wall shelving also make great habitats for these ornamental animal figurines.
Some sculptures, however, can find suitable nests in just about any corner of your space. Whimsical brass flamingos or the violent, realist bronze lions created by Parisian sculptor Antoine-Louis Barye are provocative and versatile pieces that can rest on windowsills or your desk. Otherwise, the brass cat shoehorns and bronze porcupine ashtrays designed by Viennese artist Walter Bosse are no longer roaming aimlessly throughout your living room, as they’ve found a purpose to serve.
Embark on your safari today and find a fascinating collection of vintage, modern and antique animal sculptures on 1stDibs.
Questions About Hand-Carved Horses
- 1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023To tell if wood is hand-carved, first look for small marks in the wood that indicate hand tools were used to cut and shape the material. Hand-carved pieces may also have small irregularities, particularly along curved areas. However, it may be very difficult to tell the difference between machine-worked and hand-carved pieces in some cases. On 1stDibs, shop a range of wood furniture and decorative objects.
