Description from the seller

Exquisite miniature horse figure crafted in solid silver, the work of the renowned Spanish silversmith Francisco Vera, an unquestionable reference in 20th-century silver animal sculpture.

The sculptural work stands out for its extraordinary level of detail: the musculature of the body, the curvature of the neck, the upright head, and the texture of the coat are reproduced with a precision and artistic sensitivity that convey movement, life, and naturalism. A miniature that reflects the deep knowledge of equine anatomy and the technical mastery that define Francisco Vera's oeuvre.

This type of equestrian figures in solid silver were highly valued as decorative objects and high-value collectibles, especially among lovers of the equestrian world and Spanish classical metalwork.

Francisco Vera's miniatures are increasingly scarce on the market and highly coveted by Spanish and international collectors, making this piece an acquisition of special value both artistically and patrimonially.
