About the Item
A pair of 19th-century English hammered-tin portrait plaques that capture sporting life with a tenderness rarely found in metal. One depicts an eager Spaniel, mouth open, tongue lolling, nestled in a grove of ferns as if just paused mid-hunt. The other shows a steadfast Labrador emerging from the greenery, a woodcock held gently but proudly in his mouth—a quiet testament to instinct and partnership. Each plaque is mounted on a deep red velvet mat and framed in oak, the materials lending warmth and a distinctly country-house gravity to the scenes. There’s a romanticism here, the sort that conjures weekends in tweed, muddy boots by the back door, and the soft thud of paws on old floorboards. These pieces feel lived-in, beloved, and strikingly modern in their graphic simplicity. Hung together, they bring the sporting tradition indoors—not as trophies, but as beautifully observed moments of rural life.
This platform may flag this piece as priced above average—but that judgment is based on an algorithm that overlooks patina, provenance, and that certain je ne sais quoi that matters to collectors.

Early 20th Century Flemish Spaniel Pyrography Panel
Located in Chicago, IL
This early 20th-century Flemish low-relief panel showcases the exquisite artistry of pyrography, a technique where designs are burned into wood using a heated tool. Here, two hunting spaniels adorned with studded collars and leashes are meticulously rendered, their lively expressions captured with remarkable detail. Surrounding them is an intricately carved Art Nouveau style frame, adding an extra layer of elegance to the composition.
During the latter part of the 19th and early 20th centuries, pyrography experienced a surge in popularity, particularly in Europe and America. Its appeal lay in the ability to create intricate designs with depth and texture, resembling fine etchings or engravings. Pyrography was often employed to decorate furniture, household items, and decorative panels like this one, serving as both functional art and a testament to the skill of the craftsman. Today, pieces like this Flemish panel...
