Item Details
Description
A pair of carved matching horses each on carved wood stand with impressed numbers. Sources (based on photos) suggested Bowenite or Serpentine Jade. While no conclusive testing was performed, these are very difficult to scratch, a sharp steel pocketknife blade-tip skipped right across the surface without biting in. 28 photos available; 9 photos in artificial lighting (with stands), 19 photos in natural sunlight (without stands). Each measures 7" L x 2" W x 4-1/2" H + stand. Each weighs 1lbs.,1oz. Original auction stickers to bottom of bases. THIRD PARTY SHIPPING REQUIRED. Provenance: From the estate and personal collection of an unnamed antique dealer and important 70's-80's Miami real estate developer, to the likes of today's Jorge Perez or Ugo Colombo- further details to the winning bidder. All items from this collection were purchased exclusively from Sotheby's; London, Geneva, Monaco, and New York- between 1982 and 1985.
