Equestrian Table Sculpture
An equestrian table sculpture brings horses, jockeys, and hunting scenes into domestic interiors as decorative figures and statuettes. These works sit on tabletops, desks, and shelves, capturing motion and form in miniature scale.
You meet a variety of forms on this page, ranging from 19th Century bronze stallions and Edwardian cast models to mid-century leather-bound pieces. Animalier subjects sit alongside Western Americana, Art Deco, and Victorian hunting scenes.
Materials span patinated bronze, gilded bronze, cold-painted bronze, metal, marble, and wood. Many figures mount directly onto solid marble bases for stability and presence.
Materials and construction methods
Foundry workers cast metal and bronze into detailed figures, applying patinated or gilded finishes to highlight musculature, tack, and riders. Cold-painted bronze brings colour to specific Austrian works.
Selected pieces combine metal figures with heavy marble bases, while others utilise wood and leather-bound construction in the style of Liberty and Co.

Typical asking prices for equestrian table sculpture among the pieces listed under this phrase on Sellingantiques today, from the lower quarter to the upper quarter. They describe what is for sale here now, not the wider market.
Listings feature bronze, marble, wood, and leather materials across nineteenth-century, Edwardian, Art Deco, and mid-century periods.
Judging quality and execution
Quality rests in the crispness of the casting and the depth of the patina or gilding across the horse and rider. Finer works show careful attention to anatomical detail, from the tension in a stallion to the posture of a jockey.
The choice of base materials influences the overall presence of the object, with substantial marble plinths providing weight and balance to the bronze sculpture above.
