Description

Do you remember these from the late 1970s or early 1980s? We had one on my dad’s desk and I was fascinated with it.

Circa late 1970s, this is a simple two-piece horse and rider sculpture. The top is designed to sit on his sharp pointy feet and naturally back and forth rock over the plinth. Shiny chrome and chrome wire balancing sculpture, the smallest touch will make it move.

Very good condition for age and era, an older vintage original. Good silver shine.
Black rubber base on the plinth slightly off centre so slicks out very slightly.
9 x 10cm… perfect for a retro man cave, coffee table, office desk, film set, or for the horse rider in your life!
