Vintage Norwegian Hand-Carved Birch Horse: 1940s to 1950s Folk Art Sculpture with Natural Patina
$380.00 $475.00
A vintage Norwegian horse sculpture, hand-carved from a single piece of Norwegian birch and dating to approximately the 1940s to 1950s. Depicted with its head lowered in a grazing pose, the horse combines a gentle expression with beautifully detailed carving.
The flowing mane falls along one side of the neck, with individually carved strands echoed in the long tail. Defined eyes, ears, hooves, and softly modeled legs give the figure character, while visible carving marks reveal the handwork throughout.
The untreated birch has a pale, warm tone with natural grain variations and an aged patina. Its compact size makes it an appealing display piece for a shelf, desk, or collection of Scandinavian woodcarvings. Carved lettering is visible on the underside, as shown in the photographs.
