Here is a beautiful, statuesque Etruscan metal sculpture of a horse.
The sculpture is bronze and has a light turquoise hue to the metal to give the appearance of great antiquity.
Frederic Weinberg had done a number of these type of Etruscan sculptures for wall art and even put them into lamp designs
and other furnishings. These pieces fit in with the late fifties Grecian revival when myths and legends of Ancient Greece inspired mid century designers.
Gorgeous, near mint vintage condition. Displays beautifully!
This was done from the artistic foundry "IL CESELLO" by Franco Cipriani and was defined as a real "artisan workshop". The foundry no longer exists.
The care and dedication for your work, the skillful retouching of the waxes, the fusion with the classic lost wax method, the very fine chiseling performed manually with files and chisels that highlight and highlight every smallest detail, require skill and artistic sense handed down, as happened in the workshops of the Florentine Renaissance, from father to son, from generation to generation.
The foundry is based on the lost wax casting method both with the traditional lotus system and with the new "ceramic" system, but also with the "stirrup" method
Sculptures of all sizes can be created: from small reproductions to monuments, both as a single piece and as multiples.
