About the Item
At once dramatic and refined, this commanding wall sculpture by Vanguard Studios—dated 1967—unveils a stirring homage to Spanish conquest, rendered through a modern mid-century lens. Though the relief resembles richly carved wood, referred to as “Vanathane”—which grants it authenticity.
The composition is breathtaking in its detail and movement: a lone conquistador astride a rearing horse, their forms carved with potent energy. Every viewing angle offers new visual drama, from the rugged, sculptural surface to the masterfully rendered facial expressions and musculature of horse and rider.
Intriguingly, the title "Don Quixote" offers a nod to literary romanticism. The reverse bears Vanguard Studios’ label and the year “1967,” quietly affirming provenance and period authenticity.
This piece bridges rugged texture and romantic drama, mid-century craftsmanship and bold artistic narrative. It is ideal for connoisseurs seeking a sculptural statement that balances visual intrigue, historical resonance, and contemporary adaptability. Whether mounted in an entryway, gallery wall, or study, this relief promises to deliver both immediate impact and enduring presence.

Painted and Carved Wooden Sculpture of a Knight Crusader, circa 1944 on Pedestal
Located in Palm Desert, CA
A carved wooden sculpture of a knight crusader from the mid-20th century painted in a silver color with brown undertone. The knight is kneeling on a later rectangular black wooden stepped pedestal, holding his sword horizontally while wielding a kite shield mounted on his forearm, emblazoned with a cross and a forked lightning. Looking determined to battle for glory, he wears a silver painted chainmail coif on his head and chest beneath a helmet framing his bony face, a cuirass above a hauberk, greaves and sabatons.
