Iconic 'Desmond' art deco ceramic dog figurines by S. Fielding & Co. (Crown Devon), made in England, c.1920's/30s.
These character-filled hounds were originally designed as a novelty item and quickly became a popular collectible. 'Dismal Desmond', the nickname given, was hand painted in various colour combinations and features the long droopy face and sad eyes, capturing a comical yet endearing sense of despair.
Still highly sought after by collectors, these loveable figurines will add personality to any space and suit both vintage and modern interiors. A thoughtful gift for lovers of Art Deco decor.
