Solid Brass Mare and Foal Figurines

A beautifully detailed pair of vintage solid brass horse figurines depicting a standing mare with her foal, full of grace and maternal presence. The mare stands 6 inches tall, while the foal measures 4 inches, both sculpted with a smooth, flowing form that captures the bond between the two animals. The figures are freestanding and solidly cast, with a warm golden patina developed over decades. This duo dates to the mid-20th century and reflects the popularity of brass animal figures during that era, particularly in British and European homes where they were often displayed on hearths or sideboards. The craftsmanship suggests a careful attention to proportion and anatomy, with stylised musculature and naturalistic stances. Horses symbolise strength, freedom, and endurance, while the presence of the foal adds a sense of nurturing and continuity. These pieces are not only decorative but also carry a sense of narrative and tradition, making them ideal for collectors, equestrian enthusiast
