Description
A rare and finely detailed antique Swedish Dala horse, hand-painted in a deep black ground with traditional folk motifs.
Carved from wood and painted by hand, this miniature Dala horse stands out for its striking dark surface, an uncommon variation that gives the piece a graphic, almost contemporary presence. Delicate brushwork in red, green, yellow, and white animates the form, each detail applied freely and with character.
Despite its small scale, the horse carries strong visual weight. It works beautifully as a cabinet object, on a desk, or layered among books and ceramics, where its bold contrast and patina can be appreciated up close.
Wear and surface variation are consistent with age and add to the charm and authenticity of the piece.
Sold as is.
