Description :

Large Vintage 15" Spelter Hunting Dog Desk Ornament / Freestanding Sculpture

Likely manufactured 1930s-1950s

Beautifully detailed vintage figural sculpture of a sporting gun dog (Irish Setter or Pointer) caught in a classic low, pointing stance. Measuring an impressive 15" in length, this piece commands excellent presence and makes a perfect statement ornament for an executive desk, library bookshelf, or rustic mantelpiece.

Material & Construction:

• Composition: Cast zinc alloy / spelter (fully tested and confirmed non-magnetic).

• Assembly: Classic vintage two-piece hollow casting method, seamlessly joined along the spine and neck with original flat-head screws.

• Finish: Features a dark, rich faux-bronze chemical patina and lacquer wash that beautifully accentuates the textured fur coat and muscular definition of the sporting dog.

• Display: The underside of all four paws are factory-ground flat and level, allowing the heavy sculpture to stand completely flush and secure on any flat surface without rocking.

Dimensions:

• Length: 15" (nose to tip of tail)

• Height: Approx. 8.5"

This piece is in excellent vintage condition with magnificent structural integrity. The seam lines are tight, and the two halves line up perfectly. The original joining screws are intact and undamaged. The patinated finish shows minor, authentic age-appropriate wear and light surface rub-off, adding a wonderful historic character to the sculpture.

No cracks, major corrosion, or repairs present.

Count: 1 item
