Question I purchased an S&S Woodcarvers horse in 1989. It is signed and dated. It is in good condition. I am going to sell the horse. What would be the best avenue in which to sell it? What price range could I expect to receive? Thank you.
Answer Unfortunately, contemporary carvings are considered more as decorative items than collectibles so they generally do not increase in value with time. I've seen S&S carvings sell for as little as a few hundred dollars. In this case, I'd have to say, it's worth whatever someone is willing to pay. I've seen lots of these on ebay. I have no idea if they ever sell however.
