Horse’s Head Sculpture, Decorative Part of an English Country House England 1870

About the Item

Sculpture in gilded zinc sheet with gold leaf depicting a horse's head. The sculpture is entirely embossed and shows two mane wings. The equine head was a decorative part of an English country house, perhaps better than the stable, at the top of the frontal tympanum. The care of the realization and the remarkable leaf gilding make it a work of considerable value. England, around 1870.
