This exceptional vintage cast sterling silver presentation piece has been realistically modelled in the form of a rearing horse.
This impressive ornament is embellished with cast details replicating the horse's anatomical features.
The silver horse is fitted with cast silver gilt saddle, bridle and reins.
The hallmarked sterling silver horse ornament is displayed on a rectangular malachite base supported by four cast silver gilt feet.
This silver horse sculpture mounted on a malachite base combines material contrast with symbolic representation, uniting craftsmanship and thematic meaning. The equestrian form conveys associations of strength, movement and heritage, while the malachite base provides visual grounding and enhances display presence. Such an object functions effectively as a commemorative or gift item, particularly within equestrian contexts, and serves as both a decorative feature and a focal point for conversation within an interior setting.
Date: Circa 1990
