Antique Cast Metal Union Station St. Louis Figural Dog Souvenir

Add a touch of historic charm to your moody library or dark academia-inspired study with this delightful antique cast metal figural dog. Expertly modeled in a resting pose, this silver-toned piece resembles a French Bulldog or Boston Terrier and features an intricately detailed trophy style emblem draped across its back. The blanket reads "UNION STATION ST. LOUIS" and displays a beautifully raised relief of the iconic architectural landmark. Likely dating to the early 20th century, this hollow-cast souvenir piece boasts a wonderful, dark aged patina that beautifully catches the light, making it the perfect small accent to style atop a stack of marbled books, nestled into a curated shelf, or used as a whimsical desk companion. The piece remains in lovely antique condition, showcasing the authentic wear and historic character expected of a well-loved travel keepsake from a bygone era.

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.
