Can anybody make use of this large horse, hand painted on thick 13mm hardboard??!!
Ideal for any young horse lover’s room, or perhaps a (pre-) school setting...
I made and painted this horse years ago for an educational exhibition in Brighton’s Booth museum, and since then it has been used as a head board and wall decoration in both my children’s bedrooms. My kids have now grown up and I am moving into a one bed flat and have no room for this anymore.
It’s approximately 200cm tall at its highest point (the ears), 110cm wide at the base,
and 116cm at its widest point. It’s heavy and will need 2 people to lift it into a van or onto a car roof rack. There are pre-drilled holes to allow the piece to be fixed to the wall for safety.
Overall, it is in very good condition, and the hard wearing varnish layers on top of the paint have protected it from damage. There’s an area at the base where some water has penetrated the board while stored in the garage; as a result the board is swollen a bit on the bottom corner. However this doesn’t affect the painting, and won’t be visible if used as a headboard.
Am moving house soon, ideally this will need to be collected by Dec. 16th.
