About the Item

A striking pair of mid-20th century bronzed horse head and neck busts, finely modelled as racing horses wearing bridles. Each horse is portrayed with an elegant elongated neck and carefully articulated features, capturing the alert expression and refined character associated with the thoroughbred racing horse. The bronzed finish lends the pair a handsome sculptural quality and a rich decorative appearance. The busts are individually raised upon substantial plain rectangular plinth bases, providing an attractive contrast to the detailed modelling of the horses. Their considerable combined weight makes them particularly suitable for use as decorative bookends, while they are equally appealing as standalone equestrian sculptures for a library, study, office or interior display. An attractive decorative pair with strong equestrian character, well suited to both traditional and contemporary interiors. Dimensions, each: Horse Head Height: 154 mm Horse Head Width: 40 mm Overall Height Including Plinth: 200 mm Base: 179 x 92 mm Combined Weight: 3,295 grams Condition: Good vintage condition, with age-related surface wear and patination consistent with their age and decorative use.
