Sterling silver horse sculpture, reinforced.
The wood base measures approx. 19 inches x 16.75 inches x 2.75 inches.
The sculpture itself measures approx. 15 inches x 16 inches x 13 inches.

Davids notes: We took in this sculpture as a consignment. We noticed yesterday that the statue had a 925 sterling silver mark on the silver base. As we turned it, we noticed the horses are glued on, the glue was old, and you could remove the left horse from the statue easily. We tested the horse, it tested solid sterling silver. But looking into the rivet hole that held the horse to the base, we could see the silver was a thick sheet of silver over a cheaper metal.
There is probably a few hundred dollars in scrap silver, but at least the two horses are reinforced with a cheaper metal. The base might be solid silver, but we felt if the horses were reinforced with a cheaper metal then the silver base was probably reinforced as well.
We left the horse unglued so the buyer can see the thickness of the silver sheet.

Dried glue between the horse hoofs and the base, flat bottom removed.
