Exquisite and richly detailed, this pair of 18th century Italian gilded dog sculptures showcases masterful craftsmanship and decorative elegance. Each left and right facing dog is elaborately hand-carved in wood and finished in 22k gold gilding, capturing dynamic posture and stylized expression. The figures rest atop classic egg and dart pediments, and are adorned with dramatic, foliate-carved tails, adding a regal and whimsical touch.

Dating to circa 1775, these ornamental Italian sculptures are a rare find and ideal for collectors of 18th century European decorative arts, animal motifs, or Rococo-era embellishments. Striking as mantle pieces, console accents, or flanking doorways, they add a sense of historic grandeur and storytelling to any interior.
