Late 19th Century French Life-Size Zinc Horse Head Sign 23¾"

SKU: 19659

US$3,687
This remarkably lifelike and expressive horse head sign, crafted from molded zinc, dates to the late 19th century. Exceptionally well-sculpted with intricate detailing, this piece once adorned a boucherie chevaline (horse butcher shop), symbolizing the establishment's trade. The craftsmanship brings a powerful realism to the piece, highlighted by its naturalistic expression and flowing mane.

The sign bears five small bullet holes (trous de chevrotine), further contributing to its historical narrative and patina (signs such as these were often used as target practice at the time). A rare and impressive piece of commercial signage, this life-size horse head would serve as a striking decorative element for an equestrian-themed space or as a captivating standalone sculpture.
