A Pair of Authentic Christopher Dresser Victorian Iron Dogs

Benham and Froud operated out of Chandos works,40-42 Chandos street,Charing Cross London..from 1855 to approximately 1900..Christopher Dresser was employed as a designer by the company from 1873-93..These simply stunning pair of brass iron dogs were designed by him in circa 1880..Each piece carries two foundry marks each for Benham & Froud..I have shown evidence of the mark's provenance in the photos..Dresser seldom if ever signed anything..hence the reason that the foundry mark being present is so vital for collectors.The pieces are in overall nice condition and are 6 inches long and 5 tall..I have partially cleaned them to show the new custodian what is possible..if that is the look that they are after.There is is a screw missing on one end,which is a simple replacement..I will include registered post in the asking price.Thanks for looking please check out my other ads.
