Pair of Lifesize Italian Black & White Great Dane Dog Statues

About the Item

A playful pair of reclaimed mid 20th century life-size Great Dane statues made in terracotta and glazed in white with black spots. Handsomely made, these dogs are superbly designed in realistic detail with dynamic profiles, pointed ears and lively faces! Each large terracotta dog sits in a similar seated position with heads turned at opposite angles, making a handsome pair either side of a doorway, arch or standing guard either side of a large staircase. While the fawn toned dog is famously associated with the Great Dane breed, this life-size pair of statues take after the Harlequin Great Dane which is known for its black and white spots. They are best suited to indoor use but could also be used to decorate a sheltered outdoor climate. Dimensions stated are for each dog.

  • Pair of Reclaimed Atlas Garden Statues
    Located in Wormelow, Herefordshire
    This highly decorative pair of near life-size composition term statues of Greek God Atlas are an imposing mythological addition to a formal garden or interior. Traditionally, Atlas is depicted holding up the heavens, an eternal punishment bestowed on him for leading the Titan rebellion against Zeus, King of the Gods. However, in these composition adaptions, the Greek God Atlas carries an urn above his head. These can be planted with flowers and foliage or used simply as statuary. Made in the mid 20th century, each term statue is crafted from a blend of cement and fibreglass with some wear throughout that gives them a beautiful time-worn appeal. Part statue, part jardiniere, these Atlas statues...
