Early 1900’s EXQUISITE Football Bronze “Thru The Lines” Sculpture

Presented here is an EXQUISITE Early 1900’s Football Bronze Sculpture titled “Thru The Lines” — a masterfully executed work of art that captures the raw energy and grit of early American football. This rare and visually commanding piece embodies the spirit of the gridiron at the dawn of the 20th century, when the game was still young, rugged, and deeply rooted in tradition.

Expertly cast in solid bronze, while sized at 4” x 3” x 2” this substantial sculpture portrays a powerful ballcarrier charging headlong through a line of defenders, every muscle and motion rendered with remarkable realism and attention to detail. The figures wear authentic turn-of-the-century gear, complete with quilted pants, leather helmets, and high-top cleats — a stunning tribute to the rough-and-tumble nature of the game in its earliest form.

The patina is rich and beautifully aged, enhancing the piece’s dramatic depth and form. The sculpture is mounted atop a painted brass base, which adds an elegant contrast to the metallic tones above. The title “Thru The Lines” is delicately attached to the base, underscoring the artist’s intent and narrative power behind the work.

Seldom does one encounter a football-themed bronze of this caliber and vintage — it is truly a museum-quality piece that transcends sports memorabilia and enters the realm of fine art. Ideal for display in an advanced collection, office, or study, this exceptional sculpture is a powerful and rare homage to the earliest days of America’s greatest game.
