Vintage Heavy Bronze Etruscan Greek Horse Sculpture Geometric Acropolis Replica

Up for sale is a magnificent, monumental vintage mid-century modern bronze sculpture of an Ancient Greek Geometric Style Horse. Masterfully cast with a striking, highly stylized minimalist silhouette, this impressive piece stands as a premier example of 1960s/1970s Hollywood Regency and Brutalist interior design accents. Inspired by ancient archaeological artifacts found at the Athenian Acropolis (dating back to 750700 BCE), this piece features the iconic elongated tubular torso, open crescent mouth, and a highly stylized coiled loop tail. Key Features & Specifications: Impressive Scale: Measures approximately 19.5 inches tall from the bottom of the hooves to the tips of the ears. Substantial Weight: This is a premium, heavy foundry casting weighing approximately 12 lbs. It is exceptionally bottom-heavy and stable. Freestanding Design: Expertly engineered with solid legs and a hollow torso, allowing the sculpture to stand completely balanced, upright, and sturdy directly on its own four hooves without requiring a wood or stone base. True Copper/Bronze Alloy: A discreet scratch test on a hidden underside area confirms a true copper/bronze composition (displaying rich salmon/reddish-pink metal undertones, completely distinct from cheaper brass or painted plaster reproductions). Authentic Patina: Features a stunning, naturally aged, dark greenish-brown verdigris oxidized patina that gives the horse an authentic, antiquarian, excavated museum appearance. Condition Report: Excellent vintage condition with beautiful structural integrity. There are no cracks, breaks, or structural repairs. The horse stands perfectly balanced without any wobbling. There is a small, superficial scratch on a hidden area from a material verification test, which will naturally oxidize and darken back over time. Please review all high-resolution photos closely as they serve as the primary description of the item's physical condition and patina. Shipping & Handling: Due to the substantial 12 lb weight and vintage value of this sculpture, it will be meticulously packed using heavy-duty, double-walled boxes and premium cushioning material. The package will be shipped fully insured with tracking provided immediately upon dispatch. Local pickup is also available if you are in the area. Don't miss the chance to add this dramatic, heavy bronze statement piece to your Neoclassical, Brutalist, or Mid-Century Modern collection!
