Antique Vienna Bronze Cold Painted Dog Candlestick Staffordshire Bull Terrier Chamberstick

What a wonderful little item this is! This antique bronze candle holder is decorated with a cold painted bronze Staffordshire Bull Terrier dog.
I have never seen another like this! It stands approximately 3 inches tall the adorable little dog is 2 1/2 inches long. The receptacle for the taper is half an inch in diameter. From approximately the late 1890s to 1900, it is in very very good vintage condition.
