Antique Staffordshire Red Spaniel Dog Garniture Set of 3 Mantel Figurines

Elevate your mantel, sideboard or display cabinet with this elegant antique-style Staffordshire red spaniel garniture set of three. Rich in character and classic Victorian charm, these iconic “comforter” dogs bring warmth, colour and heritage to any refined interior. Perfect for collectors of fine English pottery and discerning dog lovers alike, this trio offers a timeless decorative statement.

This garniture set comprises two smaller spaniels and one larger central dog, designed to be displayed together as a balanced arrangement. The larger dog stands proudly at approximately 25 cm in height, flanked by two smaller companions at around 14 cm each. Their traditional seated pose, soulful expression and finely modelled features are quintessentially Staffordshire, evoking the beloved 19th-century mantelpiece dogs that once graced period homes across Britain.

The spaniels are finished in a rich red colouring, a classic and highly desirable palette for Staffordshire dogs. Their coats are detailed with hand-painted touches that highlight the curls of the fur and the elegant contours of the figures, while their faces display the gentle, watchful expression that makes these pieces so charming and collectible. The warm tones of the red glaze add a vibrant yet sophisticated accent to both traditional and contemporary interiors.

Each figurine showcases the hallmarks of quality English pottery: well-defined moulding, carefully applied enamels and a pleasing weight in the hand. Whether placed on a period fireplace, arranged on a console table or styled within a curated cabinet of curiosities, this three-piece garniture set instantly adds depth, history and character to your décor.

Condition is generally good and display-ready. Please note that one of the smaller dogs has a repaired neck; the restoration is present but does not detract from the overall impact of the group when displayed together. The larger dog and the second smaller dog are in good vintage condition, with age-appropriate signs of wear consistent with display and handling. As with all antique and vintage ceramics, minor firing imperfections, light surface marks or glaze variations may be present and are part of the authentic character of these pieces.

• Collectors of antique and vintage Staffordshire pottery
