A wonderful nice sized antique cast Frenchie. Gaston has beautiful detailing & a lovely patina. Poised & ready for a runabout, he'd love a perch on top of a pile of large coffee books, & would be particularly happy if it came with a window view.
Jenning Brothers, marked on the base 'JB2472." Cast bronze or possibly brass. Gaston measures 8" l x 6 3/4" h x 3 1/4" w. $165.00.
*The Jenning Brothers Foundry opened in the 1890's in Bridgeport Connecticut and was in business through the 1950's. They specialized in metal art and maintained a staff of artists and sculptors to craft their metal art objects ("Nouveau" metal art) which included clocks, bookends.
