Product Overview
The liver-chestnut horse belongs to TYART’s animal collection: liver-chestnut horse with dark mane, hollow-cast in bronze by the traditional lost-wax method and hand-finished with a warm red-brown patina. At 267 × 185 × 292 mm, it is sized for desks, shelves and console tops.
The silhouette is built on a single continuous line from muzzle to tail. The mane and tail are simplified into thick, sculptural locks rather than individually modelled strands, which keeps the surface calm at a distance and rewarding up close. The legs carry the implied movement of the pose while the mass of the body stays settled over its base, so the piece reads as balanced and grounded from every angle.
Because every surface is patinated by hand before sealing, the finish has depth: brighter where the forms rise, deeper in the hollows. Placed on desks, shelves and console tops, the sculpture reads as a lived-in bronze object rather than a plated ornament, and it keeps its tone with nothing more than routine dusting.
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.
