Piece Description
You are viewing a fantastic bronze casting depicting an English Bull Mastiff. The piece is signed V Chemin on the base - please see close up picture. This would make for a great collectors piece for your home and is offered in perfect condition. The patina to the bronze has a lovely finish to it. The utilitarian history of the bull mastiff begins with English gamekeepers during the 1800s. Gamekeepers needed assistance in warding off poachers from large English estates and game preserves. They focused their search on domestic dogs, rejecting the mastiff for its sluggishness and the bulldog for its ferocity. Breeders crossed the two, producing the bull mastiff, which had the speed, courage, strength, and temperament to protect the land. Dimensions are in inches: Height x Width x Depth 6.5 - 9 - 5 Weight: 2.90kg Dimensions are in CM: Height x Width x Depth 17 - 23 - 13 Weight: 2.90kg
