Maswna figura konia z mosiądzu na marmurze - polskie rzemiosło artystyczne lat 60. XX w.—

We present an exceptional example of Polish artistic craftsmanship from the 1960s – a massive, sizable horse figurine cast in brass, mounted on a solid, heavy marble base. This work combines expressive power, excellent casting skill, and material elegance, creating an object of extraordinary presence and collector value.
The figurine depicts a horse in a dynamic, dignified pose. The brass from which it is made has acquired a beautiful, warm patina of age, highlighting the anatomical details of the animal and giving the whole a noble, antique character. The solid, heavy base of natural marble not only stabilizes the composition but also adds prestige and a cool luster, creating a perfect contrast with the warmth of the metal.
This item is an excellent example of post-war Polish artistic craftsmanship, which drew from tradition but sought new decorative forms. Such figurines often served as prestigious furnishings for offices, representative interiors, or were prizes in competitions (e.g., equestrian).
Why is this figurine a unique find?
- Uniqueness: It is an individual handcrafted work, not mass production.
- Material: The combination of noble brass and natural marble.
- Presence: Its massiveness and weight make it an object of undeniable presence in any space.
- History: Part of the material heritage of Polish design and craftsmanship of the 1960s.
