This large antique bronze sculpture from 1880 displays an academic realism style through a dark brown patinated surface. The piece depicts a nude male figure draped across the back of a standing horse on a naturalistic bronze base, mounted upon a rectangular black marble plinth with a signature inscribed to the bronze. The sculpture measures 60 cm high, 65 cm wide, and 22 cm deep. Placement suits a gentleman's library, specifically positioning the sculpture on a sideboard top as an equestrian anatomical study. The dark bronze contrasts against the smooth black marble base, creating a focal point for an interior space.

FAQs

Classical bronze equestrian sculptures represent horses and human figures, traditionally produced using the lost-wax casting technique to capture detailed musculature, movement, and anatomical precision.

Antique bronze figures were created using molten metal poured into ceramic moulds, often cast in sections, hand-finished with cold-chasing, and patinated before being mounted onto a polished stone or marble plinth.

Authentic bronzes display natural patination with age-appropriate surface wear, clear artist signatures or foundry marks near the base, and precise cold-chasing details along join lines and features.

Position the bronze sculpture as a focal point atop a sideboard, mantlepiece, or console table against neutral walls to highlight its silhouette and dark surface patination.

Dust regularly using a soft, dry microfibre cloth and apply microcrystalline wax annually to protect the surface patination from oxidisation, fingerprints, and ambient moisture.
