Modern Horse II

Product Overview

Cast by the traditional lost-wax method and finished entirely by hand, this bronze horse presents modern horse with smooth planes. a hand-applied patina gives the surface its depth, and the simplified planes keep the design readable in modern interiors. At 760 × 160 × 430 mm, it is sized for sideboards, consoles and reception counters.

Proportion is where this model earns its keep: the chest is deep, the haunches are full, and the neck arches into the head in one unbroken curve. The planes of the body are kept broad and smooth, catching light along the flank and letting the patina do the modeling, rather than relying on busy surface detail.

The finish is sealed against fingerprints and daily handling. On a sideboard, console or reception counter, the piece works as a quiet anchor in the room — close enough to touch, solid enough to stay put, and simple to care for with a dry or slightly damp cloth.

Design Inspiration: The Horse as a Symbol of Freedom and Achievement

Across cultures the horse has always meant the same things: freedom, power and forward motion. It is the animal of triumphal arches and equestrian monuments in the West, and of the celebrated Tang dynasty glazed horses in China — no subject has been cast in bronze more often. This model draws on both traditions: the gesture is observed from life, and the lines are simplified into smooth sculptural planes that sit comfortably in a contemporary interior. Placed in an office or an entrance, it reads the same way in every market — energy, drive and success in motion.

Craftsmanship: Lost-Wax Casting and Hand Patina

The piece is produced by the traditional lost-wax method. Wax is modelled from the master, invested in a ceramic shell and burnt out, and molten bronze is poured into the cavity, so the finished casting is a hollow bronze shell rather than a solid block — lighter to handle, easier to place, and true to the way fine bronzes have been made for centuries. After casting, the surface is chased and polished by hand, then patinated in layered tones and sealed.

Particular attention is paid to the head and legs: the muzzle planes are evened by hand, the hooves are crisply defined, and the mane is relieved so each lock casts its own small shadow.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Does the horse suit modern interiors, or only Chinese-style rooms?

It suits both. The simplified planes and clean silhouette are contemporary, while the horse’s place in both European and Chinese art gives the piece cultural depth. In oriental-themed interiors it reinforces the theme; in modern rooms it works as a warm sculptural accent against neutral materials.

2. Is the horse shown alone, or can I order a pair or herd?

This listing is for the piece described above. Related models in the collection include pairs and group compositions; if you are planning a matched set for a lobby or showroom, contact us and we will recommend the combinations that work best together.

3. Can I order this piece in a different color?

Yes. The finish shown is the standard patina of this model, but the same sculpture can be produced in other tones — warm brown, antique gold, verdigris green or a custom two-tone patina. Hand patina is our standard process, so an alternative finish does not significantly affect lead time.

4. Is each sculpture exactly the same?

The casting comes from the same mold, so the form is consistent. The patina, however, is applied by hand, which means slight variations in tone between individual pieces — a normal characteristic of genuine cast bronze.

5. How is the sculpture packed for shipping?

Each piece is wrapped in protective foam and packed in a reinforced export carton; larger pieces travel in a foam-lined wooden crate. Wooden crates are standard for project shipments.
