Antique 4 inch Austrian bronze cold painted Pekingese dog figurine


Just look at him! This little Pekingese guy is so full of character, so full of vim and vigor in the movement of his fur. Measuring approximately 4 inches long, and 2 1/2 inches high, he’s a heavyweight solid paperweight about a pound and a half. He retains almost all of his cold paint, except for an occasional spot (see the top of his nose). Please see the photos for full description of condition. I’ve never seen another pekingese dog statue with such beautiful detail. Marked made in Austria on his tummy.

Adorable Vtg Ceramic Chinese Mother Foo Dog and Her Puppies on Stand



This is just adorable! A wonderful aubergine colored Momma foo dog or foo lion is playing with her two pups or cubs. Artistically sculpted out of heavy weight ceramic, it’s a remarkably unique piece. I have not found another like it. Standing 8 inches tall by approximately 7 inches wide by about 4 inches deep, it weighs a bit over 3 1/2 pounds.
The artist did a remarkable job depicting the fun between the Mom and the babies. The condition is very good however a piece has been re-glued area on mom’s tail and the top puppy is missing the very top of his tail. The shiny glaze made it very hard for me to find these faults. The dogs/lions also have their own custom made stand as you can see in the photos.

Antique Bronze French Bulldog Figurine Frenchy Statue Frenchie



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 due 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. 

Check him out in out Etsy shop here.

Sled Dog Pulling Antique Turban Mother of Pearl Shell Sleigh




I believe this little figurine of a handsome sled-dog pulling a shell sleigh or a sled was made in commemoration of all the arctic and antarctic exploration that was going on when he was created. This was made at the turn of the last century when Robert Peary and Frederick Cook were all the rage representing the adventurous spirit of the time.
The figure of the dog is 2 inches long and 1 1/2 inches high. The little dog has what appears to be a chip off of the very top of one ear, however this chip is glazed over so it was done during manufacturing.
The dog and sled measure at 5 1/2 inches long. The sled is made up of what I believe is copper wire and mother of pearl turban shell. There is a tiny chip to the shell edge, Not overly noticeable but it is there.
A remarkably rare item, it’s in overall, very good condition except for the noted above.

Lead Metal Duckling Figurine Solid Lead Duck Vintage Figure





This adorable duckling figure is made of solid lead. Measuring 4 1/4“ x 2 1/4“ x 2“ this hefty little fella weighs almost a pound and a half. At this size he would make a fine paperweight, although I’m not sure if that was the original purpose.
In very good condition, he’s quite artistically rendered. The little duckling looks so much like it just took a drink of water or maybe a tasty grain.

 This lovely figurine made by George Lefton in 1955 stands 7 1/2 inches tall.

She is without chips or cracks but does have two little glaze pops that can be seen in the last two photos. Her paint and gold are all beautiful as is the expression on her face. I inspected the flowers and although some might look a bit irregular they are in the original manufacturing condition. I have looked at them under magnification. Very pretty lady.

European Brass Children Figurine 3 Antique Figures



Measuring 2 1/2 inches tall by 3 inches wide this little statue is made up of three antique brass children in what appear to be Austrian or German clothing. Approximately 100 years old. Years of patina, but if you prefer your brass shiny I’m sure they could be shined right up.

The little girl rides a wooden and brass sled that her brother pushes. Interestingly, the little boy has either the tail of a shirt or a tail , hanging out of the back of his pants. On the front of the sled is a small loop, indicating that these two children were once attached to something else. Very heavy for its size.
