Cast Iron Bust of a Greyhound – English, Early to Mid-20th Century
Cast Iron Bust of a Greyhound – English, Early to Mid-20th Century
A finely modelled cast iron bust of a greyhound or whippet, English in origin, dating to the early-to-mid 20th century. The surface is finished in a deep blackened patina, catching the light subtly along the contours of the fur and musculature.
Mounted on a square plinth base, the piece has strong sculptural presence and a certain understated nobility—typical of the greyhound’s long association with aristocracy and sporting life. The form suggests it may have originally served as a decorative finial, desk ornament, or even a bookend, though it stands beautifully on its own as a sculptural object.
Origin: England
Date: Circa 1930s–1950s
Material: Cast iron with dark patina
Condition: Excellent vintage condition; no damage or repairs, light wear commensurate with age
Size sculpture: Approx. 22 cm (height) x 18.5 cm (width); Pedestal approx 7 cm x 9 cm
A fine decorative piece for those with an appreciation for the quiet grace of the greyhound.

I recently purchased a violin bow from here. The bow is just as described, high-quality and all prepared for play. The silver winding and frog look great.
Communication was good and they shipped quickly. The bow was safely packaged and arrived in perfect condition.
The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that, while the bow performs exceptionally well, I found it slightly heavier than expected.

Wasn’t totally sure what to expect since there weren’t many reviews, but this bow completely surprised me. It got this for my daughter who needed a good follow-on bow as shes getting much better at playing... Honestly, took a bit of a gamble, but I’m really happy I did. ..Definitely a great find!

Looks better than expected!! Arrived in perfect condition, carefully packaged with bubble wrap. The sculpture looks sleek and polished, and has the artist's signature on the back so a genuine piece. It works great for my Airbnb. These guys are great.
