Antique English Staffordshire Black Spaniel Dog PAIR

Antique English Staffordshire Black Spaniel Dog PAIR

~BLACK LUSTER ~Hand Painted~Separate Front Feet~

Just arrived from England, another great pair of antique Staffordshire dogs.  I’ve tried to find some unusual pairs and I couldn’t pass up these elegant spaniels, with their SOLID BLACK LUSTER BODIES, hand painted gold accents and their fabulous free standing front feet (ONLY FOUND IN THE VERY BEST).

Of course I primarily sell English furniture and just by the nature of my business I see A LOT of Staffordshire, but normally refrain from purchasing it.  However I just rarely see solid black dogs so I just couldn’t resist this set!!  

I think they make a fabulous decorative accent….for any mantle or wall shelf, sideboard or bookcase… anywhere you’d like a classic English touch, presented in a most exceptional Staffordshire/porcelain  form.

PLEASE EXCUSE THE GLARES IN THE PHOTOS….the shiny surface of the black luster bodies made it almost impossible to get glare-free photos!!

Measurements:

Each dog is appx. 9 ½” x 8” x 5”.

As mentioned, all of my antiques are hand selected from premier European shippers.  I do not purchase in bulk, but prefer to individually purchase items, with each piece selected for its unique characteristics and quality.

 I do have some other Staffordshire sets that I will be listing shortly…a pair of lions…a pair of collie dogs…..a pair of poodles….. and some figurines, including an “Uncle Tom & Aunt Chloe”.

Condition:

The dogs are in good condition for their age, with expected normal signs of age and use, scratches, dings, and other imperfections.    The gold paint is worn, as to be expected….one dog has a tiny chip on its toe…the black paint has normal scratches, rubs and rough spots...no other noted issues.

PLEASE EMAIL ME with questions prior to bidding, as this is not my area of expertise and I will gladly answer any relevant questions prior to bidding.

 I always provide multiple photos that should be considered as part of the description….Please keep in mind antiques should be purchased for its uniqueness, higher quality material and craftsmanship and antique patina, charm and character….NOT for like-new condition!!!

FREE Shipping:

Professional packaging, shipping and insurance on this item is FREE (lower 48 states only).     All my antique furniture is professionally packaged for shipment by UPS, fully insured and delivered directly to your front door!
