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.
