Early 20th Century Spelter Sculpture of a Guard Dog - After Charles Valton
About the Item
An antique sculpture (zink alloy) of a guard dog - a Staffordshire Terrier or Bandog type - guarding the property of its owner behind a wooden fence on a washing tub. The sculpture is made of green patinated zamac. On a green marble base. The sculpture is not signed, but in the style of the French artist Charles Valton. Made in France around 1900-1910. The spelter, the patina and marble are in good condition.
The sculpture represents a dog, or Mastiff. Standing on it, the mastiff rolls up his chops, showing an aggressive air.
The impression of threat that this dog gives reflects, in itself, the precision of the artist's work.

Early 20th Century Belgium Spelter Boy and Dog Sculpture Signed V. Rousseau
By Victor Rousseau
Located in Dallas, TX
Place this tall patinated sculpture on a console or a buffet! Crafted in Belgium in 1932, the metal statue depicts a young boy eating his bowl of soup with dog watching with envy. The figurine has numerous marking to prove authentication. It is signed on the base by the artist "Rousseau".

A winning competition entry for the Prix Godecharle in 1890 gave Rousseau the chance to travel in England, Italy, and two full years in France, after which he returned to the atelier of Belgian sculptor and teacher Charles van der Stappen...
