Breyer My Favourite Horse Mystical Unicorn
|
|
Legend has it that the home of the unicorn is at the edge of the world, where for thousands of years such mystical one-horned horses have captured mankind's imagination, but eluded capture themselves.
Noble, brave, gentle and strong, the untamable unicorn could be captured only by the one thing more beautiful than their self: the pure love of a girl. It was believed that, upon seeing a fair maiden, an otherwise shy unicorn would fall so deeply under her beguiling spell that it would lay down beside her to sleep with its horned head resting in her lap. Where a group of horses is called a herd, a group of unicorns is known as a blessing.
Breyer's latest unicorn features delicate grey-lavender shading and is a perfect gift for the young girl in us all.
Breyer are manufactures of the world's finest model horses.
Breyer models begin as beautiful horse sculptures created by leading equine artists that are then cast into a copper and steel mold. Each model is created one at a time from the original mold, which is injected with a special resin selected by Breyer for its ability to capture the depth of detail, delicate feel and richness of color in our models. Once the model is molded, Breyer’s artisans take over, and the handwork begins. Each individual Breyer model is prepped and finished by hand and then turned over to the painting department for hand painting (with airbrushes) and detailing (with paint brushes). In all, some 20 artisans work on each individual model horse, creating an exquisite hand-made model horse that is as individual as the horse that inspired it.
