About

Bring character and timeless charm to your garden or entryway with this expressive pair of antique French Labrador sculptures. Crafted in France circa 1920, each figure is hand-cast in stone and modeled after a loyal hound seated in a poised, attentive stance. Their surfaces are richly layered with a beautifully mottled patina, an organic tapestry of warm ochre, earthy gray, and mossy green, built up through decades of natural weathering. Areas of lichen, rust-hued oxidation, and faint mineral deposits enhance the authentic aged texture, giving each sculpture a distinctive timeworn presence that only outdoor exposure can produce. Slightly differing in coloration, the pair presents as a match, likely intended to flank an entry or garden gate. Each dog rests on a rectangular plinth, adding architectural weight and stability. Measuring 22 inches deep by 11 inches wide and 26.5 inches high, these sculptural dogs make striking garden sentinels, charming porch accents, or decorative features for an indoor conservatory. Excellent condition commensurate with age and prolonged outdoor use.
