Rocking horse - 1950-1960 - Italy

Vintage wooden rocking horse carved and hand-painted – Folk Art, 20th Century

Fascinating decorative rocking horse for collection, entirely made of solid wood carved by hand and finished with polychrome paint. The piece stands out for the typical style of Folk Art, with evident and refined signs of hand-carved tooling that give texture and character to the figure. The finish presents a lively combination of colors applied by hand, with black harnesses, brown saddle, and a green saddle blanket decorated with yellow and red geometric motifs. The horse rests on sturdy black lacquered rocking runners. An ideal accent piece for antique toy collectors, lovers of mid-century design, or as an original rustic vintage interior element.

Overall condition: Good vintage condition overall, structurally solid and stable. It features a beautiful patina of age with slight and natural superficial paint losses that add to its authenticity. Defect detail: There is a note of a missing/chipped tip on both ears, with the inner wood section visible. The damage is purely cosmetic, it is stabilized and does not affect the object's solidity.
