Description
This striking pair of antique English brass rearing horse bookends-or doorstops-brings both strength and grace to any interior setting. Hand-selected in England and imported with care, they are a handsome example of decorative utility, full of movement and charm.
Each horse is beautifully cast in solid brass, with fine attention paid to detail-from the rippling musculature to the sculpted manes and expressive faces. The figures have an almost prancing quality, their front legs raised and poised with a lively elegance that suggests motion held just in check.
Time has lent them a warm, even patina and the gentle wear across their surfaces only enhances their character-proof of many decades spent in good use.
Equally at home propping up a row of well-loved books or standing sentinel by a door, this pair brings with it a timeless appeal, quietly noble and full of English spirit.
