Product Description

A horse pared back to its essentials: a fan of upright mane, a rounded geometric body and a simplified face that leaves the grain to do the talking.

Meaning & Symbolism

In Scandinavian folk tradition the carved wooden horse is a hearth-side emblem of strength, loyalty and good fortune — a small, steady presence kept close to home. This piece borrows that spirit and pairs it with the clean, confident lines of mid-century modern design.

The Carving

Carved entirely by hand, so the grain, tone and tool marks are unique to each sculpture.

Fan-shaped, upright mohawk mane
Rounded, geometric body with simplified features
Vertically grooved tail
Smooth, warm wood finish that shows the natural grain

Size & Placement

Dimensions (L × W × H): 15 × 12 × 5 cm (5.9 × 4.7 × 2 in)

Compact enough for a bookshelf, mantel or desk, and right at home in Scandinavian, Japandi or mid-century interiors.

A Considered Gift

A thoughtful housewarming gift or a present for horse lovers and collectors of folk art.

Care

Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth. Keep away from direct sun, heaters and damp areas to protect the natural wood.

FAQs

Q: What size is it?
A: Length × width × height: 15 × 12 × 5 cm (5.9 × 4.7 × 2 in). Because each piece is carved by hand, allow for small variations of about 0.5–1 cm.

Q: Is this a traditional Dala horse?
A: No. It is Nordic-inspired folk art with a geometric, mid-century character, rather than a traditional painted Dalecarlian (Dala) horse.

Q: How do I care for this carving?
A: Dust with a soft dry cloth or brush. Keep it out of direct sun and away from heaters, air-conditioning vents and damp rooms, as sudden changes in humidity can cause natural wood to move or crack. A light coat of furniture wax once or twice a year keeps the finish nourished.

Q: Is it handmade?
A: Yes. Each piece is carved by hand, so small variations in grain, tone and carved detail from the photos are normal — no two are exactly alike.
