ABOUT PRODUCTID 1797
This horse figure, designed by Karl Hagenauer and produced in the Vienna-based Werkstätte Hagenauer during the 1920s, exemplifies the bold clarity of Art Deco form. The sculpture depicts a horse rearing on its hind legs, distilled into a geometric, elongated silhouette with sharply defined mane and tail. The body, crafted from chromed brass, draws the eye with its cool, silvery sheen, set in strong contrast against a matte black wooden base stained deep ebony. The finishing details—crisp edges, precise contours, and the seamless connection between the figure and its plinth—reflect the high standards of Hagenauer's workshop. Subtle discolorations and patina on the metal surface attest to the piece's authenticity and age. The condition remains very good, with only gentle traces of time typical for an original from this era. This figure resonates with the voice of the interwar period, when Vienna was a hub of modern design. The horse’s form, reduced to pure lines and flat planes, mirrors the fascination with movement, stylization, and dynamism that characterized the applied arts of the time. The chromed surface reflects light like a mirror, recalling the metropolitan glamour of the 1920s, while the poised horse seems frozen in motion, telling a story of the era’s rhythm and energy. More than a decorative object, the piece interprets the spirit of its age—balancing refinement with modern simplicity. The sculpture may be paired with modernist furniture—such as a lacquered console or a low Art Deco sideboard—to emphasize its geometric presence. It will add a striking accent to a study or living room in a muted color palette, especially alongside black glass, marble, or pat
