Item Description
A handsome antique garden statue of a resting greyhound, in the manner of Austin & Seeley.
Dating from the mid 20th century, its light weathering only adds to this sleeping dog’s appearance, making it a beautiful piece for a country garden or townhouse courtyard.
Originating from England, its characterful features and detail are beautifully cast in composition stone.
Austin & Seeley
Felix Austin and John Seeley, founders of Austin & Seeley, were the first recorded to use a cement-based material for the manufacture of artificial stone.
The pair became leaders in the industry of architectural and garden ornaments by the mid-19th century, supplying from the middle classes to Queen Victoria. Statues like this would have been quite the prize possession during the Victorian era, as it is today.
CONDITION REPORT
Good structural condition. Superficial surface cracks. Weathered.
