Spanish Pure Breed Black Sculpture (Limited Edition) (Special Order)

Spanish Pure Breed (Black) is a High Porcelain creation that pays tribute to one of the most admired equine breeds in the world. Inspired by the majestic specimens of the Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art, this sculpture captures the beauty and natural elegance of the purebred Spanish horse.

Modeled with anatomical precision, the animal is performing a piaffe, with one leg raised in a majestic stance. Handcrafted in matte black porcelain, the base tone is enhanced by the deeper black of the blankets and golden luster accents.

The ornamentation elevates the ceremonial character of the piece. The saddle, bridle, breastplate, and blanket are richly adorned with golden luster. Metallic details such as the bits and stirrups feature a mix of finishes: some in brass with gold plating, others in a silver tone, adding visual contrast and refinement. The reins and stirrup leathers are made from genuine leather, reinforcing the lifelike quality of the composition.

The saddle is especially noteworthy for its technique: a base of brown enamels mixed with metallic pigments in the same shade, applied using a drag technique to replicate the texture and look of tanned leather, with a rich, nuanced surface.

The sculpture rests on a base that evokes dark earth, decorated in brown enamels with metallic highlights. The result is a work of visual impact, where every detail celebrates the technical and artistic excellence of High Porcelain.

Includes wooden base

An iconic Spanish brand, Lladro is a world leader in the creation of porcelain art. Started by brothers Juan, Jose and Vicente Lladro in 1953, the ceramic figurines were initially inspired by the works of great European manufacturers like Meissen and Sevres. Over time, a unique style was forged, consisting of elongated lines, a revolutionary single-firing method, and soft pastel tones.
