Description from the seller
Art Deco Horse Sculpture – Sheffield, England – c. 1930
An impressive and finely detailed English equestrian sculpture in cast pewter, attributed to Sheffield, one of Britain's most celebrated historical centres of metalworking craftsmanship.
Dating stylistically to the Art Deco period, circa 1920s–1930s, this substantial sculpture captures a spirited horse in an elegant walking pose.
The beautifully modelled anatomy, expressive head, flowing mane and raised tail demonstrate considerable attention to detail. Particularly striking is the finely textured surface, which creates an attractive interplay of light and shadow across the naturally silver-toned pewter.
The sculpture retains a beautiful aged patina, with subtle tonal variations that enhance its vintage character.
Sheffield has a centuries-old tradition of fine metalworking, particularly pewter, silver and silver-plated decorative objects. This sculpture reflects the craftsmanship associated with that important English manufacturing heritage.
