Bronze statues of horses

Le bronze horse stands out as a timeless symbol of nobility and elegance in the field of sculpture. A true reflection of the passion of artisans and artists for the equestrian world, this figure has stood the test of time without ever losing its splendor. Whether rearing, galloping or depicted in a more peaceful scene, the bronze horse captures all the animal's passion and presence, while adding a touch of refinement to your decor.

Bronze Horse: An Artistic Legacy of the 18th Century

In the 18th century, great French sculptors such as Pierre-Jules Mene, Antoine Louis Barye ou Isidore Happiness made the horse their favorite subject. Their creations are characterized by remarkable anatomical precision and a particular attention to detail, from the musculature to the expression of the gaze. Their work quickly won over art lovers, helping to propel the equestrian sculpture at the forefront of the artistic scene of the time. Across the Atlantic, artists such as Frederic Remington also played a major role, representing the wild horse and emblematic scenes of the Far West, thus placing the bronze horse in a universal tradition.

Reproduction of an ancient bronze horse

In order to make these works accessible to as many people as possible, our sculptors and artisans draw inspiration from the masterpieces of yesteryear to create faithful faithful to the originals. So you can acquire a bronze horse like an 18th century classic or a more modern piece, without embarking on the often difficult and expensive quest for a period statue. Each of our sculptures respects the spirit and aesthetic codes of historical creations, while benefiting from contemporary manufacturing techniques that guarantee solidity and perfect finishes.

Equestrian works for all styles

The bronze horse comes in different shapes and postures, allowing it to meet various desires:

• Prancing Horse : a posture full of passion and energy, evoking freedom and power.
• galloping horse : ideal for a dynamic interior, this statue embodies liveliness and movement.
• Gilded bronze horse : a luminous finish that catches the eye and creates a luxurious ambiance.
• Horse on marble base : the combination of bronze and marble provides a classic look and unfailing stability.
• Horse statuette : more discreet, it easily finds its place in an office or a library, without losing its aura of nobility.

This variety of options allows you to select a piece that will harmonize both with a traditional interior, to emphasize the authentic and warm aspect of the place, and with a contemporary decoration wishing to highlight an object of character.

Know-how inherited from lost wax casting

To bring these bronze horses to life, our workshops use the lost wax casting, an ancestral technique dating back several millennia. The process begins with the creation of a model (usually in wax), accurately capturing the smallest details of the animal's posture and anatomy. The model is then surrounded by a refractory mold, then heated to melt the wax. Finally, molten bronze fills the empty space, taking the final shape of the sculpture. Once unmolded, the piece is the subject of meticulous work of chiseling and patina, in order to reinforce its contrasts and give it a nice depth.

Careful protection and delivery

Because a bronze sculpture requires the utmost attention, our teams ensure that each horse is packaged in custom packaging. Protective materials are selected to absorb shocks and keep the work in place during transport. You will thus receive your bronze horse in impeccable condition, ready to adorn your interior and fascinate your guests.

Whether it is the heir to a long tradition or inspired by more contemporary aesthetics, the bronze horse remains a source of wonder for all art and decoration enthusiasts. Treat yourself to a piece that pays tribute to equestrian beauty and let yourself be charmed by the prestige and authenticity of an animal that, for centuries, has continued to captivate the eye and animate the collective imagination.
