This is a large vintage standing horse figure, most likely mid-20th century, constructed as a decorative toy or display piece. The body is covered in a coarse brown textured fabric (burlap, canvas, or similar woven material) stretched over a rigid internal frame. It has a full black mane and tail (synthetic or real hair), a fitted saddle with leather-style straps and hardware, a bridle, and hanging metal stirrups. The horse stands on a simple red-painted wooden base.


Key features:

  • Brown fabric body with visible weave and age-related wear
  • Black hair mane and tail
  • Complete tack including saddle, straps, and metal stirrups

These fabric-covered horses were made as children’s ride-on or pull toys and as folk-art or store display pieces. The construction (fabric over a frame with separate tack) is typical of mid-century American or European toy and decorative production.
