George Ford Morris Horses
I recently purchased the Fordacre Studios Estate of George Ford Morris. The gems of the Estate were 3 large horse statues. They are made of plaster over wire. All 3 are dirty and damaged, but they are still gorgeous to me. I would love to have all 3 horses restored. I think these plaster horses are amazing and very rare. I also purchased some original art work, sketches, copper etching plates, painting name plates and medallions. The originals are all pictured on this page. The lithographs are on page 2. Prints, and other ephemera are on page 3.
I don't plan to sell any of the pieces except for some duplicate paper items.
I am always looking to buy more George Ford Morris pieces
