Vintage 1989 Etruscan Horse Statuette Renzo Carli Firenze Italy Sculpture For Sale

Vintage 1989 Etruscan Horse Statuette Renzo Carli Firenze Italy SculptureStriking vintage Etruscan-style horse statuette, acquired from Renzo Carli in Firenze (Florence), Italy, in 1989.The sculpture features the distinctive elongated proportions associated with ancient Etruscan animal figures: an exceptionally long neck and legs, dramatically ridged mane, compact body and simplified geometric form. Its richly aged green verdigris-style patinated finish gives the piece the appearance of an excavated ancient bronze, beautifully contrasted by the substantial dark stone-style rectangular base.The documented Florence acquisition and Renzo Carli attribution distinguish this from the numerous generic modern Etruscan-style horse reproductions encountered today. Now approximately 37 years old, it is an especially attractive piece for collectors of Italian decorative art, Grand Tour-style objects, museum reproductions and ancient-world-inspired sculpture.Details:* Subject: Etruscan horse
