Excellent representation of the famous Marly horse - on display in the Louvre
Displaying a desirable aged patina and in good order throughout
Appreciably heavy bronze and brass present fine golden tonality
Substantial weight in the hand at 13.36kg (29.45 lb)

Magnificent horse rearing up, as its groom struggles to contain its inherent power
The majesty of the horse resplendent with a sense of dynamism
Defined, muscular haunches beneath detailed horse tack
Further embellished with flowing manes and swishing tails

The groom with a look of surprise and fear at the ensuing situation
Representative miniature brass reigns unite the groom with the animal
The originals commissioned by King Louis XV, for the gardens of the Chateau de Marly
Stood upon a shaped base, imitating the stable floor
