These are a fine pair of antique Victorian Staffordshire dogs - the take the form of a pair of seated chimney spaniels.
They are genuine Victorian examples, and definitely NOT reproductions.
They are nicely modelled examples with no chips or cracks - they have their original dark brown glass eyes. The modelling on this pair is more minimalistic and monumental in form than other examples in my Etsy store.
They are a matched pair, as created.
Each 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 on these old Victorian examples.
They are fine display pieces - and will look fabulous on a mantlepiece or old-fashioned kitchen dresser.
Apart from losses to the old gold gilt (a little more pronounced on one doggie) - there are no damages, cracks or chips to my dogs. They have their original brown glass eyes. Matching positioning of kiln air-holes on the back of each model - showing that these are a historic pair and been together since first made.
Height: 9 1/2 inches. Width: 9 inches and the depth is 3 1/4 inches.
Unpacked they are 2 kg for the pair. Postage is for the UK only. They will be sent with Parcelforce48 - this will cost about £10 tracked and insured in transit.
STOCK CODE: 5 / 21
