FAQs

The original Marly Horses were monumental marble sculptures commissioned by King Louis XV from Guillaume Coustou between 1743 and 1745 for the watering place at the Chateau de Marly.

These sculptures are traditionally produced using the lost-wax casting method, resulting in dense, heavy bronze figures featuring a dark patinated finish.

Authentic period bronzes exhibit careful chasing of the metal surface, distinct patination showing age, and often signature stamps or foundry marks consistent with historical manufacturing methods.

Placing these sculptural pieces on a substantial mantelpiece, heavy wooden console, or dedicated pedestal allows them to serve as striking focal points that contrast with minimalist contemporary furnishings.

Bronzes should be dusted gently with a soft microfibre cloth and occasionally treated with a microcrystalline wax to protect the patination from moisture and handling oils.
