Cast in the 1900s, this bronze sculpture of a horse on a pedestal has a lovely patination that accentuates the standing stallion. Clad with a bridle and bit, but no other dressing, the majestic horse has a long, flowing mane that lays flat as he peers into the distance. The detailed pedestal beneath features several motifs, such as crenellation beneath the beveled edge of the entablature, egg-and-dart, and Vitruvian waves with roundels on the thick plinth. On both sides of the main body of the pedestal is a recessed rectangle with an angled shell in each corner, surrounding a large, twisted rope loop. At over 29 inches tall, the sculpture has a commanding presence, allowing it to be displayed on a variety of tables, fireplace mantel, or wall shelf.
CONDITION: Very good condition with minor wear, variegated patina, and very light scratches and rubs.
