Colorful 1950s French Wooden Toy Horse - 22½"

This charming wooden toy horse from the 1950s showcases a delightful handcrafted design with a painted finish. Its expressive face, natural horsehair tail, and thoughtful details such as the metal stirrups and a bell on the bit add to its nostalgic appeal. The plastic wheels have been replaced at a later date, introducing a whimsical contrast to its otherwise traditional construction. Often pulled along or ridden as a push toy, these wooden horses were treasured companions in playrooms, designed to encourage imaginative play and motor skills. Their timeworn patina now tells the story of generations of childhood adventures. 

With its endearing vintage charm, this piece makes for a wonderful decorative accent in a nursery or child's room. Whether placed on a shelf or as a playful floor display, it adds warmth and personality to a space. Its aged finish and nostalgic details bring a sense of history, making it a unique statement piece for a lovingly curated interior.
