Artisanal Horseshoe Christmas Tree Decoration

This handcrafted decorative item is a stylized Christmas tree constructed from eight repurposed metal horseshoes. The sculpture stands approximately 18 to 22 inches tall and is finished in a uniform, matte evergreen dark green paint. Each horseshoe is expertly welded to the next in a tiered pyramidal formation, with a base made of three horseshoes (one flat and two perpendicular) providing stability. The individual shoes feature visible nail holes characteristic of 'standard' size shoes, likely steel based on the clean weld points and weight distribution. Inside each arch, small red spherical ornaments with glitter and ribbed textures are suspended by internal wire loops or strings. The craftsmanship suggests a folk-art or rustic farmhouse style, likely produced by a local blacksmith or hobbyist welder within the last 10-15 years. The surface condition appears excellent with no visible rust, oxidation, or paint chipping, although slight irregularities in the weld beads are common for this type of hand-wrought ironwork. This piece represents a marriage of equestrian hardware with seasonal holiday decor.
