Antique Cast Metal Charging Bull Architectural Salvage Ornament & Plaque

Capture raw rustic energy with this striking antique cast metal charging bull ornament. Masterfully cast with a bold, high-relief dimensional front and a completely flat reverse side, this heavy metal piece depicts a powerful bull or steer mid-charge with its head lowered, horns angled forward, and tail raised high in the air.
Dating from the early-to-mid 20th century, this flat-back architectural component likely originated as a decorative emblem for an antique commercial sign, an ornamental element on a vintage livestock gate, or a heavy components piece for a custom weather vane.  Crafted from a heavy non-ferrous cast alloy (such as zinc/white metal or slag composition), it has developed a magnificent weathered surface. It is a phenomenal standalone accent piece for a library desk, an industrial man cave centerpiece, or it can be easily mounted to a reclaimed wood block for custom Western farmhouse wall art.
Condition Report (Barn-Fresh Primitive Patina):
  • Surface: Features a classic unpolished matte grey finish heavily mottled with authentic light brown rust staining, oxidation pitting, and real-world weathering that accentuates its vintage industrial aesthetic.
  • Structure: Extremely solid, dense metal casting. There are no cracks, structural breaks, or repaired joints along the legs, tail, or horns.
  • Reverse Side: The flat back displays beautiful raw surface textures and heavy natural spotting, confirming its casting lineage.
Approximate Dimensions:
  • Length (Tail to Head): ~8.5 inches
  • Height (Hump to Hoof): ~5.0 inches
  • Thickness: ~0.5 to 0.75 inches
