Grey Glazed Ceramic Horse Head Sculpture

Grey Ceramic Horse Head Sculpture With a Smooth Glazed Finish

Some decor fills space. This ceramic horse head sculpture organises it. The light grey glaze keeps the surface calm and soft under lamplight, and at 31 cm tall by 25 cm wide it has enough scale to carry a shelf or mantel on its own. Because it is real glazed ceramic and not moulded resin, the surface has the cool, dense feel that mass-produced horse figurines lack.

The Equestrian Style Behind This Horse Head Figurine

Horses have been sculpted for as long as people have decorated rooms, from the Tang dynasty tomb horses of China to the carved horse friezes of classical Athens. In the home, equestrian decor carries associations of countryside, stables, and old English interiors, yet stripped back to a single grey head the motif turns quietly contemporary. That is what lets this ceramic horse sculpture sit as easily in a Japandi or modern farmhouse room as beside a Chesterfield. The subject is traditional, the treatment is not.

How to Style This Horse Head Statue in Your Home

• Mantelpiece: Set the grey horse ornament to one side and balance it with a pair of slim candlesticks on the other.
• Hallway Console: Let it greet guests at the front door beside a lamp and a bowl for keys.
• Bookshelf: Use the ceramic horse head as a break between runs of books, its height changing the rhythm of the shelf.
• Home Office: On a desk or credenza, a horse bust gives a workspace a settled, studied character.
• Sideboard: Combine it with a linen runner and a low tray so the surfaces around it stay quiet.
• Grouped Display: Stand it near a second horse figurine in another material, carved wood for instance, for a collected feel that suggests the pieces were found over years, not bought in one afternoon.

A Horse Head Bust for Every Occasion
