Description
A stately (and ever-so-slightly judgmental) pair of antique English whippet dogs, seated in noble silence and ready to observe your next soiree from the hearth. Circa 1850, this left-and-right facing duo is beautifully cast in brass with cast iron bases, and showcases elegant form, expressive detail, and a rich patina earned over generations of listening in on drawing room gossip.
Originally designed as fireplace ornaments or doorstops, they're equally suited to flanking a console or guarding your front entry-quietly wondering who let that one guest bring boxed wine.
