About the Item

Go fetch!! These wonderfully stylized dog sculptures truly display the energy and joy of dogs when they have just fetched an object. They can't wait for you to take the stick or ball back from them so they can retrieve it again, and again and again. The quality of these pieces lies in the fact that the artist has managed to carve away relatively large bits whilst leaving no doubt what you are looking at. So what initially may look like 'naive carving' is actually a style that is extremely difficult, because there is hardly any room for error. If you like the quality and energy of these wonderful dogs as much as we do then they could be running your way soon. Again great value, also, because worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 days is complimentary. Maximum height x width x depth: 8 x 4.75 x 3 inches. We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish yet practical and for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again). You can shop all our 600+ listings on 1stdibs by pushing the button that reads 'View All From Seller'.
