Patinated Iron Hounds | Set of 2

Style: English Sporting Art Revival Material: Cast Iron Finish: Weathered Patina Dimensions: L43.5" x W18" x H39.5" (Life-Size Scale)

There are pets that require affection, and then there are guardians that command respect. This pair belongs to the latter category.

Standing nearly four feet tall, these iron hounds do not merely "decorate" a space; they patrol it. Cast in heavy iron and finished with a rich, time-honored patina, they evoke the damp, stoic atmosphere of a Derbyshire manor. They bring the pageantry of the hunt to your doorstep, without the mud or the noise.

These are architectural elements, designed to flank a grand entrance or stand sentry by a hearth. They offer all the nobility of a loyal companion with none of the chaotic energy.

The Curator’s Notes:

• The Scale: Please measure your space. At 43.5 inches in length, these are substantial, life-sized figures. They are designed to dominate a foyer or garden gate, not to sit quietly on a shelf.
• The Temperament: They are perfectly housebroken. They will not shed on your velvet sofa, they will not beg for food during a dinner party, and they will never chew your slippers. They simply stand and judge your guests in silence.
• The Patina: The iron carries a weathered finish that suggests decades of faithful service. If placed outdoors, this patina will deepen, allowing the dogs to age gracefully along with the estate they protect.
• The Authority: A quick way to lend "old money" credibility to a new construction.
