This elegant small sculpture depicts a horse in the style of ancient Greek archaic bronzes, inspired by the votive horse figurines produced in Greece during the Geometric and Archaic periods, roughly the 8th to 6th centuries BC. The stylised form, with its elongated neck, dramatically curved mane, and open arched legs on a rectangular base, is immediately recognisable to anyone familiar with classical antiquity.
The piece is cast in metal and finished with a deep black and verdigris green patina that gives it a wonderfully aged, bronze-like appearance.
Both sides are identically detailed, making it attractive from any angle. The flat profile and open silhouette give it a graphic, almost modern quality that sits beautifully in a mid-century or contemporary interior.
The style is consistent with decorative sculptures popular in the 1960s, when Greek antiquity-inspired objects were widely produced for the European and American market. The piece has been tentatively attributed in style to designers such as Frederick Weinberg, though no maker‘s mark is present.
Condition: Very good vintage condition. Natural patina and minor wear consistent with age, no damage.
Dimensions:
Height: 11.4 cm / 4.5 inches
Length: 8.7 cm / 3.4 inches
Depth: 1.2 cm / 0.5 inches
Weight: 137 g / 4.8 oz
