AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Charming and rare set of two English ceramic “mongrel dogs” (popularly known as Staffordshire dogs).

These iconic dogs were particularly popular in England from the 19th century and were traditionally placed in pairs on the mantelpiece as a symbol of fidelity, vigilance and prosperity. Their nickname “mongrel dogs” playfully refers to their placement by the window, where they seem to gaze out at what was happening on the street.

This pair is crafted in white glazed ceramic with a finely worked fur texture. The expressive eyes and the warm-brown muzzle give them a lively appearance. Both dogs wear a decorative collar with gold-colored accents and a hanging medallion, connected by a subtly painted chain in purple tones – a refined detail that enhances their elegant character.

They are in beautiful vintage condition with light signs of wear appropriate to their age.

A decorative and characterful duo that fits both classic and eclectic interiors.

Dimensions:
Height 24 cm
Width 18 cm
Depth 10 cm
