Antique bronze French bulldog figurine Frenchy Frenchie statue

 

Measuring 3 1/2 inches long, and standing 2 3/4 inches tall, this antique figurine of a French bulldog is in excellent vintage condition. A handsome little boy, he is very hard to photograph do to the dark brown coloring of the bronze. Please forgive the photographs, I tried to show his detail using different types of lighting.
The little Frenchy’s expression is unusual in that he seems to be listening to something behind him. Usually figurines of French bulldogs have their ears clocked forward. Most likely from the 1920s.
