Bronze Sculpture of Race Horse Stallion “Hanriette" by Pierre Lenordez
Located in Shippensburg, PA
PIERRE LENORDEZ
French, 1815-1892
"Hanriette Dimsdal A Race Horse" (1858)
Patinated sand-cast bronze Signed in cast "P. Lenordez 1858" foundry inscription for Duplan et Salles
Item # 306FTV06Q
This large and exquisite casting of Pierre Lenordez's "Hanriette Dimsdal" of 1858, it features a delightfully textured body with chaotic scoring from his minute stylus work across the hair of the body throughout. The mane and tail feature the crisp textured chiseling typical of his early work. This has been captured with utmost integrity by the renowned house of Duplan et Salles, the quality of the sand-casting simply above reproach with crisp replication of the artist's intent evident in every element. A most sensitive handling of this beautiful stallion.
Note the particularly wonderful handling of the ground of the base, a rather rare example of capturing the horse in its stall instead of over a naturalistic field. The hay is brushed away in numerous areas to reveal the brick flooring...

French Antique Bronze Sculpture “Halting Stallion” Horse by Pierre Lenordez
Located in Shippensburg, PA
PIERRE LENORDEZ
French, 1815-1892
A Halting Stallion
Patinated sand-cast bronze Signed in cast "P. Lenordez" cast circa 1860
Item # 306GRT17P
A rare example of Pierre Lenordez's early work, this fine sand-cast bronze model of a halting stallion showcases the powerful animal as he is stopping his forward motion, rearing slightly as he shifts his weight to his back legs. The model is beautifully chased and a wonderful hammered texture to the hair and texture from the original wax mold replicated in the bronze under the translucent brown surface patina. The model is signed on the back corner of the naturalistic base in his typical script, "P. Lenordez".
Born in Saint-Vaast-la-Hougue, in the district of Manche in northwestern France, Pierre Lenordez eventually established himself in Caen where he would become a professor and teach at the Fine Arts Academy of Caen for a decade, accepting under his tutelage the Romantic sculptor of renown Arthur Jacques Leduc...

Located in Palm Desert, CA
This is a beautifully sculpted bronze elephant by Barbara Beretich. The elephant comes across as a playful with one of his front legs raised on a ball much like a circus elephant.

Reddish-brown patinated bronze Signed "C. VALTON" to base over foundry cachet

Vintage, Mid-Century, Contemporary and Antique Animal Sculptures
Invite the untamed wonders of the animal kingdom into your home — and do so safely — with the antique, new and vintage animal sculptures available on 1stDibs.
Artists working in every medium from furniture design to jewelry to painting have found inspiration in wild animals over the years. For sculptors, three-dimensional animal renderings — both realistic and symbolic — crisscross history and continents. In as early as 210 B.C., intricately detailed terracotta horses guarded early Chinese tombs, while North America’s native Inuit tribes living in the ice-covered Arctic during the 1800’s wore small animal figurines carved from walrus ivory. Indeed, animal sculpture has a long history, and beginning in the 19th century, the art form started becoming not only fashionable but artistically validated — a trend that continues today. At home, animal sculptures — polished bronze rhinos crafted in the Art Deco style or ceramic dogs of the mid-century modern era — can introduce both playfulness and drama to your decor.
In the case of the frosted glass sculptures crafted by artisans at legendary French glassmaker Lalique, founded by jeweler and glass artist René Lalique, some animal sculptures are purely decorative. With their meticulously groomed horse manes and detailed contours of their parakeet feathers, these creatures want to be proudly displayed. Adding animal sculptures to your bookcases can draw attention to your covetable collection of vintage monographs, while side tables and wall shelving also make great habitats for these ornamental animal figurines.
Some sculptures, however, can find suitable nests in just about any corner of your space. Whimsical brass flamingos or the violent, realist bronze lions created by Parisian sculptor Antoine-Louis Barye are provocative and versatile pieces that can rest on windowsills or your desk. Otherwise, the brass cat shoehorns and bronze porcupine ashtrays designed by Viennese artist Walter Bosse are no longer roaming aimlessly throughout your living room, as they’ve found a purpose to serve.
Embark on your safari today and find a fascinating collection of vintage, modern and antique animal sculptures on 1stDibs.
