Retaining its original painted finish — now softened to a beautifully aged surface with authentic crackling, oxidation and speckling — this piece embodies the character of primitive Americana. Originally made as a doorstop or hearth ornament, this heavy iron dog now makes an exceptional decorative accent for rustic lodge style, English country interiors, equestrian rooms, hunt clubs, cabins, and masculine libraries. The stance is alert and purposeful, tail lifted, and body slightly forward — instantly recognizable to those who adore sporting breeds. Measures approximately 15.5” long, 8.25” tall and 4” deep. Might benefit from an epoxy bath to maintain all of his goodness. In good antique condition overall. Authentic age patina, oxidization and paint wear contribute to its charm. Structurally sound. Perfect on a mantel, bookshelf vignette, entrance console, kennel club wall, or layered with books and trophies. See less
