This substantial piece is cast in metal (likely spelter/zinc alloy) and finished in a rich bronze-tone patina, giving it the look and presence of traditional bronze while maintaining a distinctly modernist aesthetic.
The sculptural form captures the quiet strength and elegance of the horse, with a beautifully modeled mane and softened contours that emphasize movement and form. Mounted on a solid walnut base, the contrast between the warm wood and dark metallic finish enhances its visual impact.
A heavy and well-balanced decorative object, ideal for a console, bookshelf, or desk, and perfectly suited for mid-century, rustic modern, or equestrian-inspired interiors.
An indistinct hand-etched marking reading “H. Oppel” is present to the underside; attribution remains unconfirmed.
