    Description

    Here are two well behaved Spaniels from Victorian England.  Seasoned with some crazing and a bit of yellowing on the one-we should be pleased to have this sort of patina at well over 100 years!  This is genuine crazing-not faked crazing from a reproduction from Asia.
    There is some wear to the paint where you would expect there to be.  The 'fur' seems to be applied with a soft luster paint.  The eyes are well painted as well.  There are a few places where the painter wasn't entirely careful on the bottom, which is not a shocker.  These were not exactly high end goods, but aimed at the emerging middle class.
    I have probably 10-12 dollars into the new boxes and packing materials.  These are individually boxed with new, stiff cardboard boxes inside a larger 18"X18" X 10" box.  They are coming from Southern California, so please if their new mantel is back East, please factor that into shipping.  They weigh about 8.5 pounds together.
    Local pick up available in Orange, CA.  Handling cost goes towards packing materials and insurance.  Shipping quote is for Parcel Select-if you want Priority please let me know prior to paying.
    Thank you for taking time to look! :-) Lisa
