Vintage 1940s Chalkware Pekingese Figural Dog Statue

Introduce a wonderfully endearing dash of timeless character to your curated space with this authentic 1940s chalkware Pekingese dog figurine. Modeled and painted with excellent personality, this charming piece captures the sweet, distinct face, short snout, and heavily textured, flowing coat characteristic of the beloved Pekingese breed. Its deeply aged brown finish boasts significant paint loss, exposing the plaster beneath and resulting in a beautifully chippy character that speaks to its mid-century history. Rather than detracting from its appeal, this heavily distressed, authentic patina is precisely what makes the figure so special, offering an immediate sense of grounded antiquity. This loyal tabletop companion serves as the perfect textural accent to tuck onto a library shelf alongside worn leather-bound books and classic brass curios, effortlessly enhancing a layered, traditional interior.

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.
