Rearing Horse Driftwood Resin Figurine with Base - Brown

This rearing horse figurine is made in resin and finished to look like pieces of weathered driftwood, laid together into the shape of a horse up on its hind legs. The mane and tail are built from slender, branch-like strands that sweep back as if caught in the wind, while the body is formed from broad, overlapping slabs with grain lines and darker knots picked out in deeper brown. The overall colour is a warm light brown, and the horse rises from a stepped black base that frames it neatly. It stands 32cm tall, 19cm across and 10cm deep.

At 32cm tall it has enough presence to hold its own on a mantelpiece, a bookcase or a sideboard, yet at only 10cm deep it fits a narrower shelf or windowsill where a wider ornament would crowd the space. The driftwood look sits happily in rustic and country rooms, coastal schemes and natural, wood-led interiors, and the black base gives it a crisp outline against pale walls. Because the horse is shaped in the round, with grain and knots worked into every side, it looks just as good on a side table or a desk where it is seen from more than one angle.

Resin holds the fine detail of the grain and the knotted strands well, and the broad stepped base gives the rearing pose a steady footing on a flat surface, so it needs no wall fixings. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it gently with a slightly damp cloth and dry it straight away, taking care around the slender strands of the mane and tail. For styling, we like it beside a stack of books, a trailing plant or a few pieces of real driftwood, where the natural tones play off one another, or standing alone on the mantel as a single eye-catching figure.
