Vintage Brass Equestrian Figurine on Marble Base (ca. 1950–1975)

This decorative vintage figurine depicts a mounted rider on a rearing horse, inspired by classical military or historical themes. Crafted from cast brass and set on a rectangular marble base, the piece combines traditional subject matter with mid-20th-century decorative design.

The composition evokes the timeless imagery of cavalry figures—often associated with Napoleonic or historical motifs—making it an appealing accent for classic, vintage, or eclectic interiors.
