FAQs

The iconic Marley horses sculptures were originally commissioned by King Louis XV in the eighteenth century for the watering place at the Chateau de Marly, created by sculptor Guillaume Coustou.

These sculptures are traditionally produced using the lost-wax casting method, utilising bronze or spelter alloys, often finished with a dark brown or black patination.

Authenticity is determined by examining the quality of the chiselling, the depth and oxidation of the patina, foundry marks, and the sharpness of the casting detail.

They work effectively as focal points on heavy timber mantelpieces, executive desks, or bookcase tops, contrasting with modern minimalist architecture.

Bronze should be dusted gently with a soft, dry cloth and occasionally treated with microcrystalline wax to protect the patina from moisture and handling.
