The long, tapered muzzle, almond eye, and softly curled ear give the face a refined, aristocratic expression. Textured, feathered fur is carefully modeled along the neck, chest, and haunches, contrasting with the smooth, sleek planes of the shoulders and legs. The deep, blackened patina carries warm russet undertones that gather in the recesses and at the paws, lending the surface a rich, aged depth.

Substantial and dignified, the sculpture suits a hearth, console, sideboard, library shelf, or entry table, or a covered garden terrace, where it anchors Traditional, English Country, Regency, Hollywood Regency, and Eclectic interiors. It pairs well with leather, dark woods, brass, and richly patterned textiles. To care for it, dust with a soft dry cloth or brush and wipe occasionally with a barely damp cloth, drying thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive scrubbing that could disturb the patina, and keep it away from persistent moisture. The piece measures 21.75 inches wide, 7.75 inches deep, and 10 inches high.

Presented in very good condition, the sculpture retains a well-preserved original finish with a rich patina appropriate to its age. Minor surface wear and small scuffs are present but do not detract from its overall appearance. It is structurally sound, with no visible repairs or losses. Please review the photographs closely, as they form part of the condition report. Bring home this stately canine companion and inquire today to make it yours. See less
