Overview
This is a classic piece of sporting art depicting a faithful retriever mid-task, capturing the 'soft mouth' grip essential to a hunting dog.
Story
The 1980s saw a massive resurgence in 'country house' style, where items celebrating rural life and field sports became essential decor for suburban dens and offices.
Maker / Origin
While no signature is visible, this style is consistent with companies like Heredities in the UK or various American sporting giftware firms that specialized in 'cold-cast bronze.'
Condition & Value
The piece appears to be in good vintage condition with a consistent patina. There is some minor dust in the crevices and light wear to the wooden base, which is typical for its age. The matte finish seems well-preserved; avoid harsh chemicals which can strip the metallic resin coating.
