Decorate an entry, library, study, or covered gallery with this elegant vintage Italian greyhound sculpture. Hand carved near Venice, Italy, circa 1960, the tall seated dog rests on an integral square pillow-form base decorated in deep red with gilt trim. The slender canine is sculpted with a proud upright posture, elongated muzzle, alert expression, and finely carved paws, capturing the graceful silhouette associated with greyhounds and whippets.
The figure is finished in a beautifully aged silvered surface with warm undertones, visible crackle, rubbed areas, and natural patina throughout. A gilt-accented collar circles the neck, adding a refined decorative detail against the silvered body. In excellent condition commensurate with age and use, this antique-style Italian dog sculpture has wonderful presence and personality. It would be striking placed beside a console, near a fireplace, in a gentleman’s study, or as a sculptural accent for any collector of dog or animal figures.
