Pair of Vintage Hand-Carved Wooden Folk Art Horses with Aged Painted Saddles

This pair of vintage hand-carved wooden horses is a wonderful example of rustic folk art craftsmanship, full of charm, character, and the subtle imperfections that come only from pieces shaped and painted by hand. Each horse is carved from solid wood and finished in a warm, aged cream tone, with black manes, tails, and hooves that contrast beautifully with their colorful saddles. The saddles are painted in vibrant red with green edging, lending a festive, decorative touch while still feeling rooted in traditional folk aesthetics. Their faces are detailed with simple yet expressive strokes—thin black bridle lines, softly painted eyes, and understated mouth detailing—giving each figure a gentle personality of its own.

The surfaces display an appealing, naturally distressed patina, with paint wear, toning, and small chips consistent with age. These signs of time enhance the authenticity of the pair and emphasize their handcrafted origins. Despite their age-related imperfections, both horses stand securely and present exceptionally well.

Perfect for lovers of vintage décor, collectors of folk art, or anyone seeking unique handmade objects, this set offers a nostalgic sense of storytelling. They display beautifully on shelves, consoles, mantels, or within a curated vignette. Whether used as statement pieces or integrated into a broader decorative theme, these wooden horses introduce warmth, whimsy, and timeless artisan appeal to any setting.
