FAQs

Cold-painted bronze refers to bronze sculptures that are painted with layers of cold enamel rather than fired in a kiln, a technique popularised in Vienna during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Traditional pieces were cast in bronze or brass using the lost-wax method, then hand-painted with polychrome enamel paints to create lifelike detailing on the surface.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit characteristic wear and patination to the enamel layer, fine chisel work on the metal underneath, and occasionally makers marks or foundry stamps.

This piece can be placed on a bookshelf, desk, or mantelpiece to introduce a touch of classical equestrian heritage and tactile colour into a contemporary space.

Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth to avoid damaging the delicate cold-painted enamel surface, and keep out of direct sunlight to prevent colour fading.
