How do I know if my Staffordshire dog is antique?
1 Answer

There are a few signs to look for to authenticate an antique Staffordshire dog figurine. Antique figurines are press molded and feature a small hole in the base, rather than a larger one. The quality of the painting is highly detailed and gilded detail may be worn a bit with age. It is always best to have a professional verify if your figurine is authentic.
