Description
18" (46 cm). A paper mache bulldog with well detailed physique has nodding head, glass inset eyes, well-defined nose and hinged mouth that opens by pulling chain to reveal ferocious expression and teeth, curly ruff and ribbons around the neck, wooden wheels hidden below his feet. When the chain is pulled, his mouth open and he "growls". French, circa 1900. Very good condition, finish scrubbed on mask of face.
