This superb late 19th Century French animalier aftercast bronze figure of a handsome stallion calling to his mare by a rustic fence, with very fine hand chased surface detail and rich patina color. The sculpture was originally done by Pierre Jules Mene (1810-1879), who was one of the most prominent representatives of the French group of animators who made figures of animals, mainly domestic ones.
Each sculpture is cast in the ‘lost wax’ process and hand finished in a custom patina coloring. Each sculpture is attached to a black or green marble base which fits perfectly for any desk, drawer, side table or hall table.

Bronze lasts forever and will never rust, warp or contort. It is an alloy (a mixture of metals) and will oxidize over the years. This process will not hurt the statue. In fact, it can enhance the beauty by turning the statue many wonderful shades of greens, blues, whites and yellows.

Every statue and placement will have different requirements and it is best to discuss your needs with Art of Bronze.
