Ranch Art Doll House Rocking Chair-USA circa 1960's

RARE RUSTIC RANCH ART "DIY" DOLL HOUSE CHAIR!
Made with real pony Horseshoes, Leather, and Velvet Cushion
MemoryLaneVintiques hand-picked this welded art item at a barn estate sale in Chico, Texas (2023)
Small in stature- an 8" X 6" X 6" area needed for doll chair.
Horseshoes were welded together and used on ranches for several things still in the 1960's. They made puzzles, children's toys, handles, decoration, even not welded and just thrown around for entertainment. (aka Horseshoes)
Starting in the 1990's and very recognizable today are horseshoes being assembled and welded into Western Art Home Decor. There are weld artists now like Tom Hill and Justin Howard, who use horseshoes for enormous objects of various subject matter that are displayed in galleries as Visual Art.
Dollhouse furniture was made from a variety of materials, including wood, bamboo, cloth, glass, tin, and ceramic, but very rarely seen with welded horseshoes. In the 1930's, mass-production methods allowed for cheaper dollhouses, which became popular with children of the growing middle class. This trend of pretend play is popular with children still to this day. GREAT FIND!!!!
