19th Century French Bronze Reclining Greyhound by Christopher Fratin, 1801-1864
By Christophe Fratin
Located in Stamford, CT
Very sensitive rendering of a greyhound at rest with a rich dark brown patina with lighter highlights showing through. The dog is shown reclining with one paw turned up, a detail I find endearing as a dog owner, my border collie does this too! Mounted on a polished black slate base, marked Fratin on the base. Also stamped with the foundry mark 'Daubree, Editeur'. A fine desk top, shelf, or mantel piece for the dog lover, Christopher Fratin (1 January 1801 – 16 August 1864), also known as Christophe Fratin, was a noted French sculptor in the animalier style, and one of the earliest French sculptors to portray animals in bronze. Fratin was born in Metz, Moselle, France the son of a taxidermist. He first studied drawing under Pioche in Metz and later worked in Paris at the studio of Théodore Géricault. He exhibited at the Paris Salon from 1831 to 1842 and 1850–1862, as well as at the Great Exhibition in London in 1851. Fratin never signed his bronzes but instead used a stamp showing his last name in straight block letters. Fratin received monumental commissions in France and elsewhere, including the Deux Aigles Gardant Leur Proie (Eagles and Prey, created 1850) displayed since 1863 in New York City’s Central Park. Today, Fratin’s sculpture is on permanent display in the Louvre, the city museums of Metz, Lyon, Strasbourg, Nîmes and at the Peabody Institute in Baltimore, Maryland. The Georg Eisler...

19th Century Italian Porcelain Greyhound
Located in Middleburg, VA
19th Century Italian Porcelain Greyhound. Beautifully sculpted with realistic facial expression. Made in Italy, circa 1890. 20" High 5" Wide 11.5" Deep A refined and beautifully sculpted Italian porcelain greyhound, dating to the late 19th century, circa 1890. Rendered in a luminous white glaze, this elegant figure captures the poised and slender form of a seated greyhound- likely an Italian Greyhound or Whippet- with remarkable anatomical precision and grace. The statue exudes quiet dignity and classical charm, with finely modeled musculature, delicately curled taiol, and expressive features, including black-painted eyes, nose, and claws that contrast subtly against the clean porcelain body. The naturalistic pose and attention to anatomical detail suggest influence from neoclassical and realist traditions, making it not only a decorative object but also a small sculptural work of art. Likely created in one of Italy's renowned porcelain ateliers of the period, this piece embodies the sophistication and craftsmanship typical of the Victorian-era Grand Tour aesthetic. A stunning addition to any interior vignette, mantelpiece, or cabinet of curiousities- ideal for collectors of antique Italian ceramics...
