Antique English Georgian Brass Chimney Horse.
C 1820's.
A very attractive early 19th Century Antique English Georgian Brass Chimney Horse, crisply modelled. These pieces are often mistaken for doorstops, for which purpose they today will of course typically be used, being ideal for that purpose. Their true original purpose was to stand, as decorative ornaments, on either hearth or mantelshelf, a tribute to those noble creatures which played such an important and prominent role in everyday life in days gone by. Popular throughout the nineteenth century, it has been suggested that their stance was inspired by the Quadriga which stood on the loggia of St Mark’s Basilica in Venice, whence they were reinstated following the defeat of Napoleon in 1815.
Made of cast brass.
Condition; beautiful tarnish and wear. Solidly made.
Weights 2.5 kg approx.
These example is particularly detailed and beautiful and it'd make an amazing addition to any quality interior. Perfect to use as fireplace decor , doorstop or just as fabulous display piece.
