Description from the seller
A particularly decorative and functional object with a powerful presence: this beautiful doorstop in the shape of an elegant horse combines craftsmanship, nostalgia and practicality. The sculpture is executed in a heavy brass/bronze alloy and radiates a warm, gold-colored patina that looks stunning in both classical and eclectic interiors.
The horse is stylishly designed with refined details in its pose and anatomy. The raised front leg and the gracefully curved neck give the piece a dynamic yet stately appearance. Above the horse is a decorative rod with a horseshoe-shaped element, which adds a charming, playful nod to horse and rider culture to the piece.
Because of its solid weight, this object is highly suitable as a doorstop, but it can also serve perfectly as a sculptural decorative piece on a desk, fireplace mantle or cabinet. The combination of functionality and aesthetics makes this a collectible item for lovers of animal figures, stable decor and classic home accessories.
The item is in nice vintage condition with light signs of use that befit its age and contribute to its authentic character. A unique piece that is both decorative and practically usable.
