This handsome decorative figure features a finely cast metal hunting spaniel rendered in alert profile and mounted upon a profiled wooden plinth. Canine hearth figures and doorstops of this style grew widely popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly in Britain and North America, reflecting the era’s strong sporting and country estate aesthetic where gun dogs and working breeds were celebrated in domestic decorative arts.
Measuring 33.5 cm (l) x 25 cm (h), the piece makes an imposing desk or mantelpiece accent. The casting captures expressive detail throughout the dog's feathered coat and alert posture, complemented by its ebonized wooden base.
Condition: The piece is in good vintage condition with age-appropriate surface wear, minor paint loss, and rubbing to the base edges that enhance its authentic antique patina.
