Vintage Miniature Bronze Poodle Sculpture

This charming miniature solid bronze poodle sculpture captures the lively spirit of the beloved breed through a distinctly impressionist lens. Rather than focusing on rigid realism, the piece utilizes heavy, tactile modeling to convey the poodle's classic continental clip, complete with a voluminous mane, pointed snout, and distinct leg pom-poms. The highly textured surface is enhanced by a rich, naturally aged patina that displays a beautiful interplay between warm, polished bronze undertones and striking, oxidized green verdigris.

Measuring perfectly to sit right in the palm of your hand, this weighty little figure is an ideal accent for a curated bookshelf, perched atop a stack of antique volumes, or incorporated into a character-filled desk vignette. Adding to its historical intrigue and authentic antique appeal, a small, circular maker's stamp is visible on the underside of the dog's belly. This distinctive, highly expressive casting is a fantastic find for collectors of canine bronzes or anyone looking to add a touch of sophisticated, vintage whimsy to their decor.

Condition: The docked tail on this poodle looks as though it may have had an additional piece previously attached to the tail.

VINTAGE & ANTIQUE
Vintage and antique items are pre-owned and aged goods. In most cases, we do not clean or polish any items that come into our shop. Once you remove an item's traces of age and patina it's not something you can reverse, so we leave those activities up to the buyer. We do not disassemble found art from their frames unless it is necessary to differentiate a print from an original piece of art. Vintage prints purchased from this shop could originate from any print media (e.g., magazines, books, photographs, art prints, etc.). We try our best to describe items accurately and disclose any and all flaws and imperfections. Please refer to pictures as a visual description. We want to make sure you are happy with your purchase so, please do not hesitate to ask any questions you may have prior to checkout.

SHIPPING
As much as possible, we utilize recycled shipping boxes. The box you receive your item in may show signs of wear and pre-use.

PHOTOGRAPHY
All photos are taken in natural light and we do not use any photo filters and do not perform any photo editing (other than basic photo cropping). Depending on your monitor settings, there may be subtle differences in color once you see your item in person.
