Description: |
|
| An exceptional, painted American trade sign made from carved wood in the full-bodied form of a race horses head. Wonderful movement, tremendous folk character, and great early paint surface. Found in SanFrancisco, this carving probably marked a blacksmiths or harness shop.
Photos can unfortunately do not do proper justice to its overwhelming presence in person. Made circa 1880-90.
Mounting: The previous owner had a taxidermist apply a wall mount that allows for easy hanging. |
