Composite Stone Scottie or Westie Dog, English Mid 20th C.

Offered by: Modern Antiquarian

Description
This English Mid 20th C. stone terrier figure has a lively, alert presence, with upright ears, a sturdy seated posture, and a softly textured coat that suggests the scruffy charm of a small working dog. The face is simply but expressively carved, giving it an engaging personality, while the surface shows natural outdoor aging with mossy tones, speckling, and worn areas that add depth and authenticity. It feels like a loyal little guardian for the garden or porch.
Terrier-inspired figures became especially popular in the 19th and 20th centuries, when breeds like the West Highland and Scottie came to symbolize cheerfulness, courage, and companionship. Pieces like this captured that spirit, bringing character, warmth, and a familiar sense of friendship into outdoor and interior settings. Wear consistent with age and use. 6"w x 9"d x 11"h
