    Description

    Large Antique Metal Rearing Horse and Man Statue modeled on the Marley Horses. This is an antique spelter metal copy from the original Rearing Horses and Grooms(Tamers) Sculptured by Coustou.
    This was made  so the lower masses could afford to have nice decoration too when  the real bronze units  commanded more Money.
    The wood base has some age distress and is separate.  Needs a new paint job?
    Someone wanting to restore this piece will have a job, but I am sure it will look very handsome when done, front left leg has a stress crack and so does the back left leg, but the legs are very solid.
    From my research, I have determined that it dates from 1890 to the early 1900's.  No markings that I have found, please examine the pictures closely for condition.
