FAQs

Originally commissioned in 1739 by King Louis XV of France from sculptor Guillaume Coustou for the Chateau de Marly, the original marble statues depict wild horses restrained by grooms. Reduced bronze castings became popular decorative items during the nineteenth century across Europe.

These sculptures were produced using lost-wax casting or sand casting techniques, resulting in detailed bronze figures that were subsequently finished with hand-chasing and chemical patination to achieve a rich, dark surface tone.

Authentic castings from the late nineteenth century display crisp chased detail in the mane and muscular anatomy, heavy physical weight relative to size, precise joins, and an aged dark patina showing light wear on raised surfaces.

Placing a pair of classical bronze sculptures on a sideboard top, mantelpiece, or console table creates an architectural anchor that complements traditional wood panelling or contemporary minimalist decor.

Dust surfaces regularly with a soft dry cloth or soft-bristled brush, avoiding water or chemical solvents that could damage the patina. Occasional light application of neutral microcrystalline wax protects the bronze against oxidisation.
