Simple Painted Eyes. 10 inches","description":"\u003cp\u003eThese are a fine pair of antique late Victorian Staffordshire dogs. They take the form of a pair of seated chimney spaniels.  They are genuine Victorian examples, and definitely not modern reproductions. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThey are nicely modelled examples with no chips or cracks - they have simple painted eyes, as photographed. They are a matched pair, as created. They have black painted muzzles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach dog has a little gold-coloured collar with a padlock on it - the padlock and chain on each dog have some rubbing and quite a lot of losses to the gilding - but this is common with constant handling on older models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is an air hole in the back of each dog, as photographed.  Each dog has been made from two mould sections which have been joined by a seam to form the whole model. You can see the old seams around the centre of the dogs and as found on older examples taken from a mould and not slip-cast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe finish on this pair is a bit more of a satin than a high gloss - as I think some salt was thrown into the kiln during firing to created a more textured glaze finish. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThey are fine display pieces - and will look fabulous on a mantlepiece or old-fashioned kitchen dresser. They are a smaller pair- and these are perfect for a today's interiors.  The smaller ones are often harder to find. Apart from losses to the old gold gilt - there are no damages, cracks or chips on my dogs.  I have taken lots of images for your inspection. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHeight: 10 inches. Width: 6 1\/4 inches and the depth (at the widest) is 3 1\/2 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey will be carefully packed and sent to you with Royal Mail Tracked (Medium Parcel). This will be applied to your order at the checkout. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Iconic Edinburgh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56380358885755,"sku":"Sold for £70","price":70.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0271\/1902\/6240\/files\/1880s-victorian-staffordshire-dogs-chimney-spaniels-wally-dugs-simple-painted-eyes-10-inches-figure-188.webp?v=1786898045","url":"https:\/\/www.iconicedinburgh.co.uk\/products\/1880s-old-victorian-staffordshire-dogs-chimney-spaniels-wally-dugs-simple-painted-eyes","provider":"Iconic Edinburgh","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
