Where should I display these figures?

These figures look best arranged in pairs on a mantelpiece, bookshelf or side table where their gilt highlights catch the light. Keep them away from direct sunlight to protect the enamel colours and gold leaf over time.

How do I clean ceramic figures?

Dust them gently with a soft, dry brush to remove particles without disturbing the surface. Avoid using water or chemical cleaners, particularly on areas with delicate gilding or hand painted enamel.

What periods do these dogs cover?

The selection spans from the eighteenth century through the nineteenth century and into the mid twentieth century. Victorian Staffordshire pieces form a large part of the selection alongside continental porcelain.

Are these figures sold as pairs?

Many of the Staffordshire spaniels and poodles are offered as matching pairs designed to sit at opposite ends of a mantel. Single figures and larger porcelain groups also appear across the listings.
