Historical Context

In the late Victorian to Edwardian period (c. 1880–1915), cast metal animal figures were popular as mantel ornaments and library/desk décor.

Horses in particular signalled:

  • Status and sporting culture (hunting, racing, cavalry)
  • Admiration for strength and movement (a common theme in “animalier” sculpture)

The era also benefited from improved foundry methods and wider middle class consumption, so cast brass figures became an affordable way to echo the look of pricier bronze animalier sculptures (inspired by the 19th‑century French tradition).
