{"product_id":"antique-english-victorian-cast-iron-setter-chimney-ornament-circa-1880","title":"Antique English Victorian Brass Setter Chimney Ornament","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eAn English cast brass chimney ornament in the form of a Setter, modeled in the breed's classic pointing stance with one foreleg raised and tail held horizontal. These flat-backed figural brasses sat on the mantelpiece as purely decorative pieces, the working English household's answer to the porcelain figure. Sporting subjects dominated the category from about 1850 onward, and the Setter, with its dramatic pointing pose and long-feathered coat, was one of the most often reproduced. The brass carries a warm golden tone across the front with darker patina settling into the recesses of the long fur. No maker's mark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e[d]Type | Chimney Ornament\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e[d]Material | Cast brass\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e[d]Subject | Setter, pointing stance\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e[d]Origin | England\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e[d]Age | Mid to Late 19th Century, circa 1870 to 1890\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e[d]Style | Victorian, sporting decorative\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e[d]Size | 3.5 in H x 5 in W x 0.75 in D\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e[d]Marks | Unmarked, no foundry stamp\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e[condition]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe piece is in good antique condition with honest age-appropriate wear. The casting is sound throughout with no cracks, breaks, or losses to the form. The front retains a warm golden brass tone across the high points, with darker patina settling into the recesses of the long fur where it would naturally have collected over the past century and a half. The back is flat and unfinished, as is typical for the category, and shows a darker tone with the expected file marks from original production. No active corrosion. The piece sits cleanly on its base.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Austyn Marie Design","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51316916617494,"sku":"AMD-03056","price":75.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/4623\/5926\/files\/May_2026-7621.jpg?v=1780082537","url":"https:\/\/austyn-marie.myshopify.com\/products\/antique-english-victorian-cast-iron-setter-chimney-ornament-circa-1880","provider":"Austyn Marie Design","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
