FAQs

Originally commissioned in 1739 by Louis XV from sculptor Guillaume Coustou for the Chateau de Marly, the Marly Horses depict wild horses being restrained by grooms. During the 19th century, smaller bronze reductions of these French Neoclassical marble sculptures became popular decorative items across Europe.

Most 19th-century bronze sculptures were produced using lost-wax or sand casting methods. The cast bronze was subsequently hand-chased to refine detail and finished with a chemically applied patina to achieve a brown, black, or dark green surface.

Period castings feature defined musculature, detailed mane and reins, and substantial weight. Look for foundry marks, signatures such as Coustou, and evidence of age-appropriate surface oxidisation and wear around handling points.

Place a pair symmetrically on a fireplace mantelpiece, sideboard, or console table to establish a balanced, classical focal point. Their dark patinated surface contrasts against light stone, neutral walls, or wood panelled backdrops.

Dust the surface regularly with a dry cloth or soft-bristled brush to prevent dust accumulation in detailed areas. To maintain the patina, apply a thin coat of clear microcrystalline wax annually and buff gently, avoiding liquid polishes or abrasive chemical cleaners.
