Warrior – Horse Bookends by Fouilles do Louristan, Bronze, 22cm high by 24cm wide by 7cm deep, Animals and Birds, Horse sculpture, Winged Horses

This piece by Fouilles do Louristan is a bronze sculpture measuring 22 cm high, 24 cm wide, and 7 cm deep. The work features a pair of winged horses designed as upright bookends. Their poses mirror each other, creating balance and symmetry. Each horse is a flat, carved metal form, emphasizing shape and line over intricate detail.

The horses’ heads curve inward toward their bodies, forming elegant silhouettes. Small wings rise from their backs, angled outward to suggest motion. Their legs stagger slightly, with hock-like details adding rhythm and interest. Long, slender tails extend down to the base, linking the figures visually to the ground. These elements work together to guide the eye along the form, from head to tail.

The base itself is flat and carved with an angled pattern that wraps around each figure. This design echoes the movement of the horses and strengthens the overall composition. The flat, stylised forms suit the upright display and reinforce the decorative quality of the piece.

The bronze surface shines with a smooth finish, while subtle marbling blends blacks and deep golds. These variations catch the light and emphasize the curves and details of the horses. Together, the mirrored forms, angled base, and marbled bronze create a dynamic yet harmonious effect. Warrior  Horse Bookends stands as a bold and striking decorative sculpture that celebrates stylised equine forms with energy and elegance.
