Hutton-Clarke Antiques are pleased to offer a finely carved bone bulldog head, mounted on a naturally patinated branch with a gold-plated ferrule, circa 1900. Likely intended as either a swagger stick or a riding crop, this piece reflects both utility and style.
The bulldog’s head is intricately carved with great attention to character and expression, while the eyes are set with faceted peridot stones, adding a subtle yet striking touch of colour. The combination of natural materials, careful craftsmanship, and decorative embellishment make this a distinctive and highly collectable object of the period.
Length 69 cm, width 3 cm, depth 2 cm
