A STERLING SILVER MODEL OF A HORSE, AFTER PIERRE-JULES MENE, LONDON, 1979

Elizabeth II period, naturalistically modelled and depicting an Arab stallion, marked on hind leg hoot with the Mark of the Assay Office (LAO), 1979, 3100 grams (109.4oz) in weight,

30cm in length x 26.5cm high

In good condition.

This exquisite model of a horse is based on the famous equestrian group by the French Animalier sculptor Pierre Jules Mene known as 'L'Accolade'. L'Accolade is one of Mêne's more celebrated works, and depicts a courting Arab mare and stallion. L'Accolade was first exhibited as a red wax sculpture with a thin black patina at the Salon of 1852, entitled Tachiani and Nedjebe. His first bronze version was exhibited at the Exposition Universelle in 1855, where Mêne won a medal for the work.
