Emerald Prancing Horse III

Product Overview

The emerald prancing horse iii belongs to TYART’s animal collection: emerald-green prancing horse, hollow-cast in bronze by the traditional lost-wax method and hand-finished with a hand-applied patina. At 530 × 180 × 460 mm, it is sized for sideboards, consoles and reception counters.

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.

The patina is built up in layers and sealed, which means tone varies slightly from piece to piece — the mark of genuine hand finishing rather than a sprayed imitation. On a sideboard, console or reception counter, it holds its own without competing with the furniture around it, and it needs no more care than an occasional soft-cloth dusting.

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

In Western art the horse stands for freedom, nobility and victory; in Chinese tradition it adds the blessing of “a horse arriving brings success”, a phrase still used to congratulate a promotion or a new venture. This bronze keeps the essential gesture — the reach of the neck, the set of the legs, the flow of the mane — and reduces everything else to clean surfaces and confident mass, so the horse feels alive without becoming literal. It is a classic choice for offices, lobbies and gift projects in any market.

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.
