Adorable Antique Staffordshire Dogs

These Staffordshire dogs are an absolute classic! Standing 7.5" tall, this pair features the iconic form and best-in-class coloration collectors adore. These were made with a press mold, not a slip mold, which is one of the major indications of their age. Staffordshire dogs have been beloved since the 19th century, when they graced the mantels of English homes as symbols of loyalty and elegance, and their slim depth made them the perfect size to fit on a mantel. Originally produced in Staffordshire, England, these charming figures were handmade and painted, making each pair unique. This is what I would be putting on my own Christmas list if I were you!
