Crafted around 1910 and marked “Made in Austria,” this finely modeled piece captures the dynamic motion and elegance of the sport with remarkable realism.

The horse’s taut musculature and the rider’s athletic posture are rendered in exquisite detail, the composition flowing naturally into a shallow dish catchall base with subtle gold highlights. Designed for use as a desk tray, catchall, or accent sculpture. The bronze’s deep patina, gently burnished with age, evokes the warm, sophisticated tone of early 20th-century Viennese Art Nouveau craftsmanship.

Measuring 7.75 inches in length, 8 inches in height, and 5 inches in width, and weighing approximately 4 pounds, this substantial piece carries the gravitas of fine European metalwork. Good antique condition with light signs of age-related wear and handling. Rich dark untouched surface. Please review the photos for further condition assessment.

Tereszczuk, celebrated for his charming and expressive bronzes, studied in Vienna under Hermann Klotz, and his works often reflect a lively sense of character and movement. This equestrian figure embodies that spirit—refined yet full of vitality—making it a perfect accent for a study, library, or gentleman’s desk.

A striking piece of Austrian bronze artistry, ideal for collectors of equestrian decor, early 20th-century sculpture, or the timeless Ralph Lauren aesthetic of classic sport and understated luxury. See less
