Calliope

 

image

Very large bow - attributed to Leach

55" in height, 33" body length

1870-1880

This beautiful horse is pretty much as large as they come, with a 33" body (chest to rump)

She will be simply spectacular after restoration and the focus of any room she graces.

Despite her size, Calliope is graceful, she has a beautiful face and serene expression.

She has recently been attributed to Leach.

She is said to have come from Osborne House, where Queen Victoria spent some of her childhood, but this is not documented with any evidence and should not be taken as fact.
