This vintage wooden horse from India feels more like a small object from an old traveler’s cabinet than an ordinary decorative figurine.

The dark wood is richly accented with metal ornament: embossed bands follow the line of the neck and body, the saddle is decorated with brass and copper details, and a small chain bridle adds an almost ceremonial character. Heart-shaped and circular metal elements give the piece a distinctive silhouette and make the decoration especially interesting when viewed up close.

Based on its materials, decorative language, and construction, the piece dates to the 1970s–1980s and reflects the decorative craft traditions of India during the second half of the 20th century.

Its compact size — approximately 8 × 8 inches / 20.3 × 20.3 cm — makes it especially easy to display on a console, bookshelf, mantel, desk, or alongside other vintage and decorative objects.

This is the kind of piece that does not need much space to change the mood of a composition. The aged metal patina, warm wood tones, and richly worked surface give it depth, texture, and a strong decorative presence that works beautifully in both vintage and contemporary interiors.

I am Yana Lamar, a collector and restorer who turned a late‑found curiosity for dolls into a carefully curated gallery of antique characters.

I seek dolls that carry quiet stories — France, German, Japan, American - bisque girls, shy companions from attics and trunks — and give them a second life with gentle restoration instead of perfection.

In this online boutique you will not find mass‑market pieces, only a small rotating collection chosen for their personality, history, and the feeling they bring into a room.
