Cheval d'arçons en cuir fauve, deux arçons et pieds obliques

Fauve, craquelé, rayé en tous sens, assombri par plages et plus clair sur les arêtes, le cuir attire d'abord le regard. Le corps du cheval, long et arrondi aux extrémités, repose sur quatre pieds obliques en bois, gainés de cuir sur une partie de leur longueur et cerclés de métal à la base. Sur le dessus, deux arçons en boucle, d'un ton blond, se dressent côte à côte. Rien ne semble avoir été lissé, et la lumière s'attarde dans chaque éraflure.

Les deux poignées qui coiffent le cheval sont les arçons. Sa forme dérive des chevaux de bois sur lesquels on s'exerçait, dès l'Antiquité, à monter et à descendre, et les exercices modernes sont mis au point au début du XIXe siècle par Friedrich Ludwig Jahn. Le gabarit de compétition fixé aujourd'hui par la Fédération internationale de gymnastique diffère des mesures de cet exemplaire, que la galerie qualifie de vintage et range dans le design des années 1950 et 1960, sans date, fabricant ni pays. Il se présente en l'état.

Read in English

Tawny, crazed, scratched in every direction, darkened in patches and paler along the edges, the leather draws the eye first. The body of the horse, long and rounded at the ends, stands on four splayed wooden legs, sheathed in leather along part of their length and ringed with metal at the foot. On top, two looped pommels in a blond tone rise side by side. Nothing seems to have been smoothed away, and the light lingers in every scuff.

The two handles that crown the horse are the pommels. Its form derives from the wooden horses on which people practised, from Antiquity onward, mounting and dismounting, and the modern exercises were worked out in the early nineteenth century by Friedrich Ludwig Jahn. The competition size now set by the International Gymnastics Federation differs from the measurements of this example, which the gallery calls vintage and files under 1950s and 1960s design, with no date, maker or country. It is offered as found.
