About the Item
Hand-carved in Veneto, Italy, this pair of limestone horses are sculptures in the round, meaning that they can be viewed from any angle. Although the carver chose not to visualize the hindquarters, the positioning of the front hooves on rocky terrain gives the impression that the horses are rearing back. The smaller of the two statues (1/8 of an inch shorter and ¼ of an inch narrower) is depicted with the head lifted, while the other head is angled down. Both animals are well-detailed, with long, flowing manes and defined musculature, and are roughly to scale. Our large limestone horses from Veneto would make fantastic additions to an outdoor sculpture garden. They could also be mounted on pedestals and placed on both sides of a walkway or driveway.

View AllCarved Limestone Horsehead from Italy
Located in Dallas, TX
Hand-carved by an Italian stone mason, this quaint limestone horsehead has excellent proportions. The contour of the cheek, the thick mane, and the slightly open mouth give the head a sense of realism. Carved with amazing precision, the horse can stand upright (face up) without the aid of a stand. Of course, it can also be hung on a wall in the proper orientation. Decorative horse heads of this size were often seen hanging on the exterior wall of a horse barn.

The Lions of Florence, Monumental Pair of Italian Carved Limestone Medici Lions
Located in Dallas, TX
The monumental size of this pair of hand-carved limestone lions is quite impressive, and their stature has been embellished by positioning them on classic, rectangular pedestals. Florence, Italy, is known for its artistic depictions of lions, ranging from the city’s coat of arms to the famous Marzocco lion that is currently part of Piazza della Signoria, and of course, the Medici lions, which inspired this pair.
Just like the original Medici, these lions mirror...

The lions are extremely well-detailed, specifically their expressive faces that are surrounded by a lush mane. Measuring 35 inches long, these Belgian lions...
