Crafted from wood and plaster and hand-painted in earthy tones, these rearing stallions exude a sense of dynamic movement and ancient pageantry. Detailed with sculpted tack and stylized manes, each horse rests on a rectangular plinth, adding to their stately presence.

Likely produced in the early 20th century, these figures draw clear inspiration from the iconic Tang dynasty pottery horses, capturing the same bold musculature, arched necks, and regal bearing. Whether placed flanking a console, entryway, or used as dramatic sculpture in a commercial setting, they make a striking decorative statement. See less
