About the Item

Antique cast iron sculpture of a dog Continental / possibly English Cast iron Late 19th Century Dimensions: H x W x D: 10 x 16 x 9 cm Crafted from cast iron, this superb dog sculpture dates to the late 19th century, a period when such pieces were highly sought after. During the Victorian era, dogs were among the most beloved domestic pets, cherished as loyal companions. They came to symbolise fidelity and honour, with their popularity further boosted by a growing interest in pedigree dog breeding - an activity closely tied to one’s class and social status. This sculpture is cast with great precision, showcasing the skill of the mould maker in capturing the animal’s anatomical features. The detailed fur textures and expressive, friendly face embody the key traits of a domesticated dog, an animal often treated by Victorians as a true family member, sometimes even granted their own furniture or adorned with jewelled accessories. The dog lies gracefully on a stepped rectangular base, its paws neatly positioned, and its head turned to engage the viewer. Equally decorative and functional, this charming sculpture can serve as a standalone ornament, a bookend, or a paperweight, blending beauty with practicality.
