Traditional Equestrian Art

The 143rd Kentucky Derby is Saturday, and I have horses on my mind. I have always loved equestrian art… It is quintessentially English and a classic design element for the timelessly elegant home. Actually, drawings of horses can be dated back to 17,000-plus-year-old cave paintings at Lascaux, France. It doesn’t get any more old school than that! Below is a sampling of lovely traditional interiors featuring equestrian art.

What are your thoughts on equestrian art? Do you have any in your home? Additional history and information on equestrian art can be found via 1stdibs Introspective Magazine. Happy Derby weekend!
