Italian Gilt Bronze Labrador Retriever
Italian Gilt Bronze Labrador Retriever
A small masterpiece of devotion, cast in gilt bronze in Italy. This 21st-century Labrador retriever sits upright, composed and alert, embodying that particular intelligence Labradors possess—the kind that listens closely, tilts its head almost imperceptibly, and seems to be quietly processing whatever you’ve just said. His expression is uncannily lifelike: attentive eyes, softened mouth, patience that feels innate rather than trained. A very good boy, indeed.
The Italian casting is superb. Each hair is rendered with masterful precision, creating a richly textured surface that catches the light in a warm, nuanced shimmer. The gilding adds a note of refinement and permanence, lifting the piece from animal figure to jewel-like sculpture.
Placed on a desk, bookshelf, or bedside table, he becomes a quiet presence—decorative, comforting, and full of character. A thoughtful token for anyone who understands that loving a Labrador is not a preference, but a lifelong allegiance.
