The horse - a symbol of love
On Mette's first trip to India many years ago, the very first thing she bought for herself was a wooden horse. Mette was fascinated by this beautiful old horse with lots of cracks but at the same time lots of patina and stories to tell. Since Mette's first journey it has become a tradition to look for old horses. First love lasts forever....
In the old days, the horses were mounted on the overhang of the roofs - a stallion and a mare - as a symbol of the love between the man and the woman, who lived in the house. Each horse is handcrafted, and hours have been spent cutting each horse, making the finest ornamentation and then painting them in beautiful colours - all in the name of love...
Today, we search for horses in large piles at the site of our suppliers. The quest for the amazing pieces sets in, and if we find a matching pair - a stallion and a mare - we cheer loudly.
