Stunning and unique pair of matching horse sculptures. With a combined experience of almost 30 years in the antiques trade, we were thrilled to once again find beautifully hand-crafted and decorative antiques that we had never seen before. From the density and the weight we can see and feel that these highly decorative horse sculptures are made of a tropical hardwood. Like, for example, with antique mirror frames or church sculptures these horses too were first covered with a mixture of chalk and glue so that the paint would hold longer. And, as so often is the case with antiques, the colors that were used for painting these horses are so much more beautiful than anything you find in this day and age that they truly are an absolute joy to look at. From the colors, the wear, the materials and the techniques that were used to create these horses we can see that these are 19th century antiques. However and unfortunately we lack the knowledge to be able to tell you from which country these highly decorative and sizeable works of art originate. We just can't find matching style horse sculptures anywhere on the worldwide web. They could be Chinese or Nepalese, but they could also be Persian or Arabian. We just have not been able to find out. What we do know is that they are definitely antique, they are in beautiful condition (with some wear, consistent with their age), they are highly decorative, probably unique and they have a look and feel that will instantly change the atmosphere of the room they are in. Mind you, our sharp price for this wonderful pair of horse sculptures...

Contemporary Ceramic Alligator Sculpture, Attributed to Christopher Buhner, American Studio Art Contemporary Ceramic Alligator Sculpture, In the Manner of Christopher Buhner, Whimsical Animal Sculpture attributed to Christopher Buhner A compelling contemporary ceramic sculpture depicting an alligator rendered with remarkable anatomical precision and expressive surface detail. The form captures the animal in a poised, alert stance, with carefully modeled scales, muscular structure, and a strong sense of presence that reflects a high level of studio craftsmanship. Based on stylistic analysis and comparative research, this work is possibly by or attributed to Christopher Buhner, the American sculptor widely recognized for his highly realistic animal figures. The naturalistic modeling, confident handling of texture, and overall sculptural language align closely with Buhner’s known wildlife works, though the piece is offered as attributed pending further documentation. Executed in ceramic and finished with a nuanced surface treatment that enhances depth and character, this sculpture bridges fine art and decorative sculpture, making it well suited for a curated interior, library, or collection focused on contemporary American studio art or wildlife subjects. Dimensions: 21" High × 21" Deep × 15" Wide Medium: Ceramic Condition: Very good vintage condition, wear consistent with age, materials and use. Minor loss on the toes. Strong sculptural presentation.
