Cold Painted Metal Great Dane

This is an interesting piece to me as the dog is depicted with his mouth open, panting. I have not seen one like that before. Also, I cannot quite figure out what kind of metal it is. It has a smoothness to it and kind of a soft feel that makes me think of lead, but I don't think it is heavy enough to be lead. Perhaps it is pewter. Nevertheless, it is a delightful piece, in black to gun metal gray with a red rope and tassel around the dog's neck. His eyes make him have a slightly menacing ... Click for details

Bronzed Metal Sculpture, Nude Torso

Archives: Fine Art: Sculpture: Metal Pre 1960: item #162505
8980

This is a very handsome sculpture of a woman's torso, of metal with a bronze or bronze colored finish. This was done in the middle of the 20th century, and the finish has sustained about 3 very small nicks since that time. They are not troublesome overall, and could be touched up if someone felt it important to do so. She is a very handsome figure, and stands nearly 15" tall on a teak base. Fine condition except as noted.

Fine Cold Painted Metal Pig

Archives: Fine Art: Sculpture: Metal Pre 1940: item #106311

This is a wonderful, small sculpture of a fine fat sow. The pig is seated on a black oval base, one leg tucked under. Very well cast, realistically modelled and painted. The paint is nearly all intact, with a little wear on the high spots, some hand grime, and some paint has crusted up near the mouth. This pig has a terrific tail. The metal is probably spelter, but I do not know what the base is other than it is not marble. Nothing to indicate the country of origin, but I associate this ki... Click for details

Offered here is a handsome sculpture of a hunting dog on point. The sculpture is of spelter or other metal, the dog finished with a bronze patina, the base in black. It makes a striking contrast. The dog is well modelled with nice detail. Possibly an old repair to the tip of the tail but I'm not sure. The base is 8 1/2" and the sculpture is just under 4".

This is a very nice, vintage piece, probably dating to around 1920 or so. The dog is cast of white metal with a bronze patina, and it is very well cast with much nicer detail than the new ones I've seen. I love the regal pose. Approximately 5" long and about 2 1/2" high to the tip of his nose.

This is just the greatest! Wait till you see the close up of his face! He is old, and beginning to show it a bit with a few cracks here and there (see picture #3), but he's probably got another hundred years left in him. He's about 7" long and about 4" tall at the highest spot. Offered for sale as is.
