Twin Bronze-Finished Horse Sculpture on Oval Base
This decorative sculpture depicts two horses in a dynamic, overlapping pose, mounted on a solid, integrated oval platform. The piece is finished in a uniform metallic bronze or brass-toned patina, which shows characteristic soft light reflections indicating a semi-matte or satin luster. The horses are rendered in a realistic, equine style with particular attention paid to the musculature of the flanks and legs, as well as the flowing texture of the manes. One horse is positioned in a slight prancing or walking gait with a raised front hoof, adding a sense of movement. The physical construction appears to be cast metal or a heavy cold-cast resin with a metallic coating, typical of mid-20th-century decorative arts. The condition appears well-maintained with a consistent patina and no visible structural fractures or major abrasions, though there is minor surface dust and natural aging visible in the crevasses of the casting. The style is reminiscent of the 'Animalier' school of sculpture, but likely a decorative reproduction from the late 20th century rather than a 19th-century original. No specific maker's marks are visible from this primary angle, but the craftsmanship is of good decorative quality with smooth transitions between the figures and the base.
