Rendered in heavy ceramic with an incredible, deeply textured "spaghetti" or impasto-style finish, the piece reflects the glamorous and maximalist spirit of Hollywood Regency design. The majestic canine is depicted in a seated position, accented by a distinctive gilded collar and a proud expression, creating a dramatic focal point that commands attention in any luxury interior. Its architectural scale makes it an ideal statement piece for a grand entryway, a sophisticated sunroom, or as a guardian to a library fireplace.


Measuring 32.5” long, 23” deep, and 45.5” tall, this life-sized floor statue offers a rare and substantial presence. The warm ochre glaze provides a rich, buttery depth that beautifully highlights the masterful texture work throughout the body and mane. The sculpture is in great vintage condition, exhibiting minor scuffs and age-appropriate surface blemishes that serve as a natural patina, further enhancing its authentic mid-century pedigree. A magnificent find for dog lovers and interior designers alike, this monumental Afghan is a rare treasure waiting to join your private collection. See less
