Product Overview
Among TYART’s animal bronzes, this horse stands out for the way a hand-applied patina plays over its forms: pair of running horses in teal and silver. The modelling is calm and confident, built from broad planes that catch light along the silhouette. At 371 × 120 × 214 mm, it is sized for desks, shelves and console tops.
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 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 desk, shelf or console top, 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.
The mane, tail and hoof edges are cleaned out by hand after casting — a step that machine finishing cannot replicate — and the transitions between polished and matte areas are worked with soft brushes so the tone shifts gently across the body.

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. What is the MOQ?
We work with both single-piece orders and bulk project orders. Contact us with your quantity and destination port for an accurate quotation and lead time.
