Where did people place these spaniels?

Victorian households positioned these pairs of ceramic dogs on either end of the fireplace mantelpiece. They faced inward toward each other, creating a symmetrical arrangement that anchored the room's decor.

What functions did these figures serve?

Beyond serving as decorative mantel ornaments, certain ceramic spaniels functioned as money boxes or inkwells. Other variations included specialised forms such as quill holders and clock groups.

How do I care for antique ceramic figures?

Keep these glazed earthenware objects away from direct sunlight and areas prone to heavy moisture fluctuations. Dust them gently with a soft dry cloth to protect the hand-painted enamel and gilt details.
