Royal poodle in gilded bronze, nineteenth century

This delightful little poodle in solid bronze dating from the 19th century will delight lovers of objects of unusual beauty. Nobly seated on his two hind legs, he is sheared "like a lion", a cut very fashionable among the bourgeoisie of the belle époque. Admire the fine details of the pretty curls it proudly sports around its head and its amusing pompom, as well as the delicately engraved base on which it rests. Heavy and of excellent workmanship, this poodle can be used as a clipboard as well as enthroned in the middle of a cabinet of curiosities. It is in very good general condition and has a magnificent golden patina, sometimes matte, sometimes shiny.
