About this seller
Product description
A rare and exceptionally crafted mid-century representation of a Shih Tzu (traditionally known as the 'Tibetan Lion Dog'). This piece is part of the coveted Chateau Leather collection from Canada, renowned for its masterful 'cuir bouilli' (boiled/molded leather) technique.
The Craftsmanship: This isn't just a figurine; it is a hand-molded sculpture. The artisan has skillfully manipulated high-grade natural leather over a firm frame to replicate the Shih Tzu’s iconic long-flowing coat and 'top-knot' grooming style.
Material & Patina: Wrapped in authentic, hand-dyed leather that has developed a beautiful, warm honey-toned patina over the decades. The texture captures the essence of the breed's 'double coat' with remarkable artistic detail.
Origin & Authenticity: Features the original 'Chateau Leather' maker's mark and artist’s signature on the protective felt base. A genuine North American import that is rarely found in the European market.
Condition: Excellent vintage state. The leather remains supple with minor, age-appropriate 'character marks' that confirm its mid-century vintage.
Style: A sophisticated accent for a Mid-Century Modern library, a Hollywood Regency vanity, or a curated animalier collection.
