EQUINE EXULT

An exquisite prancing horse sculpture from Christofle S$58,500 ±

- By AARON DE SILVA

Horses are admired for their strength, agility and endurance. Among the most prized breeds is the Arabian horse, which has a distinctiv­e head shape and high tail carriage. It is also celebrated for its liveliness, making it one of the most valued breeds in equestrian competitio­ns.

Christofle’s Arabian Prancing Horse is designed by sculptor Allison Hawkes, who has collaborat­ed with the French silversmit­h since 2009. Cast in sterling silver, and requiring 25 man-hours of work to complete, the sleek and muscular stallion is depicted in a dynamic rearing position, a striking manifestat­ion of the qualities for which the breed is lauded.

The sculpture is presented on a brass stand with a black patina finish. Only 20 examples exist worldwide, with this particular piece being numbered 08/20. Gift must be purchased by 31 January 2017. Please email ultimategi­ftguide@imv. com.sg for enquiries and to purchase. Visit robbreport.com.sg or robbreport. com.my for more details. ≠
