Product description
Description:
Timeless elegance and British craftsmanship
For sale is an exceptionally well-preserved pair of original Staffordshire Spaniels from the renowned Beswick manufactory in England. Model 1378-3, with its impressive size of approximately 27 cm, is among the most sought-after designs for sophisticated interiors and discerning collections.
Details & Condition:
Authenticity:
Both figurines feature the characteristic Beswick base stamp. One of the dogs has a very clear and deeply impressed mark. On the second dog, the stamp is softer and more subtle due to the manufacturing process, visible beneath the original, thick glaze layer – a well-known characteristic of authentic, hand-dipped Beswick figurines.
Special History & Provenance:
These "Wally Dogs" are genuine collector's items with a history: They were acquired from an antique dealer in London in 1979 and have been in the same family for over 45 years. After so long in private hands, these precious heirlooms are now seeking a new, appreciative home in a discerning collection.
Excellent condition:
The brilliant gold embellishments are particularly noteworthy. The hand-painted necklaces and medallions show minimal wear and radiate a rich gold tone.
Glaze condition:
The glaze possesses a deep, brilliant luster and shows no crazing (fine age-related cracks), which is an absolute rarity for pieces of this era.
Flawless: No chips, no cracks, and no restorations. The unglazed bases exhibit an authentic, age-appropriate patina that underscores their vintage character.
These "Wally Dogs" are a true statement piece for both classic and modern living spaces. A pair of this quality and size is a sound investment.
A Masterpiece of British Ceramic Art
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a pristine, authentic pair of Beswick England Staffordshire Spaniels (Model 1378-3). Standing at approximately 27 cm (10.6 inches), this larger-scale pair represents the golden era of English pottery.
Heritage:
Fully hallmarked with the original Beswick England impressed stamp (one crisp, one subtle under-glaze).
Stunning Gilt Details: The hand-applied gold chains and lockets are remarkably well-preserved, maintaining their original luster.
Provenance & Heritage:
These "Wally Dogs" are authentic collector's items with a rich history. They were acquired from an antique dealer in London in 1979 and have been meticulously preserved in a private family collection for over 45 years. After decades of being cherished in one home, these valuable heirlooms are now looking for a new place in a sophisticated collection.
Investment Grade:
In flawless condition with no chips, cracks, or glazing crazing. A sophisticated addition to any high-end collection.
