A charming vintage English fox-hunting scene featuring a huntsman in a traditional red hunting coat mounted on a pale galloping horse, accompanied by a hound. Beautifully hand-crafted with painted wooden figures, a genuine leather saddle, and a removable huntsman, this piece captures the character and tradition of the English countryside.
The figure is from the Forest Toys of Brockenhurst, England, founded by Frank Whittington. While no maker’s mark or label is present, the style and subject are consistent with the company’s traditional carved wooden hunting figures. It is also common for these pieces to not be marked.
A wonderful addition to a collection of vintage English folk art, equestrian antiques, hunting memorabilia, or traditional country house décor.
