Hand-selected in England and imported with care, they are a handsome example of decorative utility, full of movement and charm.

Each horse is beautifully cast in solid brass, with fine attention paid to detail—from the rippling musculature to the sculpted manes and expressive faces. The figures have an almost prancing quality, their front legs raised and poised with a lively elegance that suggests motion held just in check.

Time has lent them a warm, even patina and the gentle wear across their surfaces only enhances their character—proof of many decades spent in good use.

Equally at home propping up a row of well-loved books or standing sentinel by a door, this pair brings with it a timeless appeal, quietly noble and full of English spirit. See less
