930-3 - Hubner - $4200
Rare late 1800s German jumper in distressed old dry paint. The horse features
a finely delineated head with a sweet open-eyed expression on an unusually
elongated and gracefully carried neck. Noteworthy are the trappings composed
of applied bentwood, the dozen or so metal applique tassels and jewel keepers,
the mirrored escutcheon on the neck strap and the upholstered saddle stuffed
with horsehair. The outstretched forelegs retain the original attachments
for the "rocking style " carousel mechanism. Seam separations
and park repair to left rear leg. The figure has glass eyes, old leather
reins, bit rings and stirrups. Simple stand included. 63 long x 48 high. |
