A rare anatomical plaster horse by Domenico Brucciani & Co, London, circa 1900, on a stepped plinth base, with stamped marks ‘2272, D. Brucciani & Co, Goswell Road. EC.’.
Domenico Brucciani & Co. (1882-1906) was a business set up by Joseph L. Caproni at 148 Grays Inn Road as a continuation of the modelling, plaster cast and teaching work carried out by Domenico Brucciani (1815-1880). Domenico was born in Lucca, Italy, and set up business in London, establishing a Gallery of Casts in Covent Garden by 1837. His business built up links with both the British Museum and the South Kensington Museum.
