Ca. 1880 - France
Antique set of patinated bronze statues, depicting a rearing horse with its companion.
Based on the colossal marble pair of the 'Horse Tamers' (Castor and Pollux) on the Capitoline Hill (Rome), the Marly Horses were commissioned in 1739 by Louis XV to the sculptor Guillaume Coustou to adorn the park of the Marly Castle. The originals are nowadays kept in the Louvre Museum.
The set of statues is finely cast bronze. At the bottom the original square bolts.
Both images are in a complete great condition with some minor wear to the patination according to the age.
Please see the photos for an accurate impression of this lot.
Height of the solid bronze statues is 20 cm.
Combined weight is app 3,75 kg
A wonderful addition to both a classic and a modern interior.
NB; At the request of Catawiki, an extra photo has been added. At the downside of the base a little almost invisible scratch shows that it is bronze (yellow glow -2nd to last photo)
