Description: Stunning Rare Diminutive Figural 19C English Staffordshire Whippet Greyhound Fox Hunt Mantle Dog Pair with Rabbit Game • Delicate Timeless Showpieces • 6” Height • Superb I am delighted to offer this regal rare very small scale antique 19C English Staffordshire porcelain whippet statue mantle dog pair in traditional noble style carrying rabbit game. Hand painted with richly colored coats and natural bases dotted with grassy tufts of bocage, this rarely seen diminutive pair of whippet hounds is sure to bring a touch of the English countryside to any setting in which it is placed. Highly desirable and dramatic in sleek, delicate form with no breaks, this beautiful, timeless pair will make a stunning showpiece when displayed on its own or as part of a collection or arrangement. This is the smallest pair I currently offer in this rare period style and I consider it to be very special. I’m so excited about these figures. This sleek, willowy pair is well over 100 years old and is a marvelous surviving original right and left pair. The minimal anomalies are to be expected due to age, and are characteristic clues to the past, adding value, originality and authenticity. These could be in a museum but are offered for you to enjoy and treasure forever. Please enjoy looking. Height 6” Length 6” * Listing is for 19C whippet dog pair only. Other items are for display purposes.
