French Cast Bronze Greyhound Figurine, c.1880

A beautifully sculpted late 19th century French cast bronze greyhound, finished in a rich, naturally aged verdigris patina. This elegant piece captures the refined, elongated form of the greyhound with striking anatomical detail—from the subtle ribbing and musculature to the poised, alert stance. The surface exhibits a deep, moody green-blue oxidation consistent with age, giving it that coveted old-world character.

Perfectly scaled for a desk, bookshelf, or layered vignette, this piece embodies the timeless sporting aesthetic synonymous with English country and equestrian interiors.

DIMENSIONS
7” L x 5.5” H

CONDITION
Excellent antique condition with age-appropriate wear. Beautiful, even verdigris patina throughout. Minor surface variation consistent with authentic late 19th century bronze casting.

STYLING SUGGESTION
Style this as the focal point atop a leather-bound book stack or on a polished wood desk, paired with brass accents, vintage sporting books, or a framed black-and-white dog portrait. It also layers beautifully into a bar or library vignette for that Ralph Lauren–esque, collected-over-time feel.
