Hot Pamono Georgian Lead Hound Dig Sculpture, 1760

Rare Early Georgian Lead Hound Sculpture – C.1760 Architectural Garden Ornament A Collector’s Treasure Presented here is a rare early Georgian solid lead sculpture, circa 1760, depicting a noble recumbent hound. Once part of a private museum garden collection, this piece embodies the refinement and craftsmanship of Georgian-era decorative arts. A perfect acquisition for serious antique collectors, dog enthusiasts, interior designers, and connoisseurs of historic architectural décor, this compact yet substantial sculpture carries both elegance and gravitas. Exceptional Craftsmanship Material & Weight: Cast in solid lead and weighing approx. 3.4 kg, it reflects the enduring quality of 18th-century decorative works. Patina: Naturally weathered over centuries, the surface shows a rich blend of silvery greys and soft oxidation — the kind of authentic patina only time can create. Form: The hound rests gracefully, with sculpted paws, a gentle head tilt, and a subtly arched spine. Its restrained elegance reflects Georgian taste for classical yet naturalistic ornamentation. Historic Function: Originally designed as a garden or architectural accent, it now serves equally well as a sculptural centerpiece indoors or outdoors. Dimensions Height: 9.5 cm (3.7 in) Width: 7 cm (2.7 in) Depth: 17 cm (6.7 in) Compact in scale yet commanding in presence — ideal for display on a console, mantel, or curated garden setting.
