This superb pair of Grand Tour Italian gilt bronzes date to the late 19th century. They are solid cast and very heavy for their size. They are decorative Grand Tour reproductions taken from the original ones known as the St. Marks Balilica Horses, also known as the triumphal quadriga or horses of the Hippodrome of Constantinople, a group of four horses. These finely cast and detailed bronzes have a wonderful original bright gilt finish with age and element patination, giving a pleasing and interesting look. They are mounted on simple olive wood plinths with rich dark patination. The bases are finished in a dark green baize cloth to protect polished surfaces.
