Step back in time with this exquisite antique hand-carved glider horse crafted by P.J. Marqua & Co. of Cincinnati, OH in the late 1800s. Known for their popular hobby horses, P.J. Marqua & Co. ceased operations in 1881 following a devastating fire that consumed their facility and nearby furniture manufacturers, making their creations rare.
This particular piece features original leather saddle, leather ears and bridle, a natural mane and tail (although shorter due to use), glass eyes, and metal stirrups. Despite being well over a century old, this antique is in good condition, with all defects and details clearly visible, adding to its authenticity and charm.
It takes up residence in Bellingham, Washington.
