{"product_id":"antique-french-animalier-bronze-hunting-83378","title":"Antique French Animalier Bronze Hunting Dog by Pierre-Jules Mene, Signed P.J. Mene, Pointer with Collar on Naturalistic Base","description":"\u003cp\u003eHead turned toward you and one forepaw stepping forward, this hunting dog pauses on a patch of rough ground, alert and ready to move off at a word. His ribs show beneath a lean coat, his soft ears frame a gentle, questioning face, and a slim collar circles his neck. Beside him lies a cut branch, a small detail of the field. Pierre-Jules Mêne was one of the founders of the French animalier school, celebrated in the 19th century for his true-to-life dogs and horses, and his name is cast into the front of the base. A rich dark brown patina, warming to copper on the ribs and haunches, brings the muscles to life. Small and weighty, it’s a classic piece for a desk or a library shelf, and a fine gift for a hunter or dog lover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: Good Antique Condition, with a natural patina and light wear to the high points. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions \u0026amp; Materials\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLength: 5.1 in (13 cm)\u003cbr\u003e\nWidth: 2 in (5 cm)\u003cbr\u003e\nHeight: 3.5 in (9 cm)\u003cbr\u003e\nWeight: 1.2 lb (537 g)\u003cbr\u003e\nMaterial: Patinated bronze\u003cbr\u003e\nIncludes: One sculpture\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHistorical Period: French animalier; circa mid to late 19th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShipping \u0026amp; Duties: Every piece is hand-wrapped, securely packed and fully insured for its journey to you, wherever you are in the world.
