About the Item

A rare and striking medium-size leather horse sculpture, dating to the 1930s and sourced in France, this finely modeled piece stands 27 inches tall and is covered in genuine leather with a rich, aged patina and captivating turquoise blue glass eyes. Ideal for collectors of British decorative arts, vintage leather sculptures, or equestrian-themed décor, it combines artisan craftsmanship with dynamic sculptural presence. The horse reflects the Arts and Crafts heritage that influenced interwar decorative animals, with carefully tailored leather panels following the contours of its body and a poised yet natural stance conveying both strength and elegance. The sculpture does not bear a Liberty Co. London stamp, yet its quality, style, and period craftsmanship are consistent with the firm’s renowned leather animal creations. In good vintage condition, with gentle surface wear consistent with age, this substantial, upright-standing medium-size sculpture is a rare example of mid-century leather animal artistry, perfect for equestrian collectors or as a sculptural statement in a refined interior. Sourced and shipped from France. Dimension: height 69 cm/ 27", length 70 cm/ 27 1/2", depth 19 cm/ 7 1/2" Weight: 3455 g/ 7.62 lb

By Charles Lemanceau
Located in COLMAR, FR
