Vintage 1980s Philadelphia Mfg Co Mare & Colt Metal Horse Sculpture Gold Tone 7"

This vintage gold-tone metal Mare and Colt Horse sculpture by Philadelphia Manufacturing Co. is hand-cast, plated, and lacquered, reflecting the figurative décor popular during the 1980s, when polished metal animal forms were widely used in home and office interiors. The composition shows the mare in a calm, protective stance beside her colt, with the contrast in scale adding subtle movement and visual interest.

Philadelphia Manufacturing Co. was known for producing durable decorative metalware throughout the mid to late 20th century, including animal sculptures, bookends, and desk accessories. This piece retains its original manufacturer's label, documenting the company’s emphasis on quality materials and long-lasting finishes.

Mounted on a solid brown metal base, the sculpture has a grounded presence suitable for shelves, mantels, or desks. The warm gold-tone finish contrasts neatly with the darker base, allowing it to blend easily with both 1980s décor and Mid-Century Modern–inspired interiors.

Note: Two sculptures are available and sold separately. This listing is for one individual Mare and Colt Horse sculpture.
