A choice example of late Victorian or Edwardian animalier horology, depicting a classic English Bulldog or Bullmastiff rendered in high relief.
The heavy cast spelter sculpture features a proud hound wearing a traditional studded collar, holding an integrated pocket-watch style clock casing by its top ring.
The casting is remarkably crisp, exhibiting fine anatomical accuracy and a beautifully chiseled, expressive facial structure.
The surface boasts its original multi-toned, cold-painted bronze patination. Measuring 6" high by 7" wide, the metalwork remains in excellent structural condition.
The central clock movement is completely removable for service; it is currently wound tight and non-running, offered as an exceptional decorative antiquity or restoration piece for a fine traditional library or study.
We are delighted to offer free shipping within the USA. All of our items arrive gift-wrapped in our distinctive "houndstooth" paper!
