About the Item

19th Century English Bronze Thoroughbred Horse Sculpture on Wood Base. A charming 19th-century English bronze sculpture depicting a thoroughbred horse, mounted on a simple stepped-edge hardwood plinth. Beautifully molded with anatomical precision and a natural stance, the figure captures the elegance and vitality of the breed. The bronze has developed a warm, rich patina over time, enhancing its lifelike quality and period charm. Measuring 8 inches high by 8 inches long and 3.5 inches deep, this compact yet expressive equestrian figure serves equally well as a desk ornament, bookshelf accent, or collector's piece. The left ear has been professionally restored with care to preserve the integrity of the original casting. A fine example of 19th-century English animalier bronze sculpture with enduring decorative appeal!
