This early 20th century Animalier sculpture depicts a standing horse equipped with a saddle, mounted upon an integral rectangular base. Modelled in the round from dark brown cast bronze, the piece shows a naturalistic pose with defined anatomical detailing and a patinated finish. The stand rests upon a turned wooden table with a polished brown timber top, supported by shaped curved legs and a central pedestal with decorative ring turnings. Measuring 31.7 cm high, 34 cm wide, and 13 cm deep, the sculpture is suitably proportioned for display on a mantelpiece or shelf within a study or gentleman's library. It brings a traditional equestrian decorative accent to home interiors, fitting well in living rooms, offices, or hallways as a standalone ornamental display piece.

FAQs

Animalier sculpture refers to a 19th- and early 20th-century artistic movement focused on the realistic depiction of animals, particularly horses, dogs, and wildlife, popularised in France and across Europe.

Most antique bronze sculptures were created using the lost-wax casting technique or sand casting, followed by hand-chasing to refine surface details and applying a chemical patina to achieve a specific tonal finish.

Authentic period bronzes typically exhibit detailed surface chasing, seam lines consistent with historical casting methods, balanced visual weight, and natural patina wear in high-touch areas rather than artificial painted coats.

Display the sculpture as a focal point on a fireplace mantelpiece, sideboard top, or within a bookshelf alongside natural wood and leather accents.

Dust gently with a soft dry cloth or soft-bristled brush, and apply a thin layer of clear microcrystalline wax annually to protect the surface patina from moisture and handling oxidisation.
