Item # 7038 - SIGNED Jennings Brothers Graceful Metal Italian Greyhound

Here is an incredibly graceful metal figurine of an elegant Italian Greyhound. On the bottom is the famous J.B. signature which stands for Jennings Brothers. Here is some information about this maker:

" The Jennings Brothers began their metalwork foundry in Bridgeport, Connecticut in 1891 and remained open until the early 1950s. Jennings Brothers produced some of the most finely crafted art metal pieces that exist to this day. Their product line ranged from bookends to candlesticks to animal figurines, etc. Their methods of production required meticulous techniques which did not lend themselves to machine-directed mass production, but rather depended upon the handiwork of expert artists, sculptors and metal craftsman. Jennings Brothers metalwork is highly prized and their distinctive "JB" mark, which marked all of their products, is highly sought after by collectors world-wide. Jennings employed many new immigrants to the U.S. and their designs had an international flair."

This particular figurine measures: 5" L x 2.75" H. There are several signs of wear on the brass finish. The front paws are also missing. However...the elegance and grace of this beautiful old J.B. Italian Greyhound remains intact. The dog's tail is fragile and beautifully curved. The ears are delicate and well made. This is a figurine well worth preserving!
