American Folk Art Steel Draught Horse Garden Cutout
American Folk Art Steel Draught Horse Garden Cutout
Cut from a single sheet of solid ⅜-inch steel, this 20th-century silhouette of a standing draught horse carries the quiet authority of rural craftsmanship. Discovered in an old Wisconsin barn, it once stood sentinel at the entrance of a family’s draught horse farm—an emblem of strength, patience, and pride. Time has softened the metal’s surface giving it a presence that feels both sculptural and lived-in. When staked into the ground, the figure rises a full six feet, its stance poised and noble, casting long, cinematic shadows at dusk. It’s a rare artifact of Americana—half advertisement, half folk art—whose simplicity belies its impact. Perfect for a party barn or pasture-side display, it transforms any setting into something quietly mythic, a reminder of the enduring bond between humans, horses, and the open land.
