Meticulously cast in solid iron during the early 20th century, this highly collectible figure beautifully depicts the proud stature and alert expression characteristic of the classic terrier breed. The heavily textured coat showcases its historic, original painted surface, complete with an honest, naturally aged patina that highlights its unique provenance.

Balancing historic utility with sculptural appeal, it makes a remarkable housewarming gift, a standout piece for dog lovers, and a premier accent for curated spaces ranging from traditional libraries to rustic farmhouses. Attributes & Condition • Period: Early 20th Century (Circa 1920s–1930s) • Materials: Painted Cast Iron • Condition: Distressed Antique Condition. Features general wear, surface marks, nicks, scratches, and rubbing consistent with a century of use. Prominent chipped losses to the original painted decoration altogether enhance its authentic folk art character. • Dimensions: Approximately 10.25 in (26 cm) Height | 10 in (25.5 cm) Width | 4 in (10 cm) Depth (Note: Please verify physical dimensions for absolute accuracy before finalizing). Attribution Notes This piece accurately corresponds to the celebrated #279 full-figure wire-haired Fox Terrier mold produced by the Hubley Manufacturing Company. While it does not feature a stamped brand signature—mirroring standard production methods of original early 20th-century foundries—the intricate coat detailing, distinct stance, and tight assembly seams strongly point to true period craftsmanship.
