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.
