Most likely a private commission

walking with firm and slow steps along the gravel walks

whilst the nickel-plated locks are still in working order

the edges with decorative hammered plates laid over

This piece displays a level of craftsmanship and skill that is of the highest order

friends and comrades who gathered at the local public house to tell bawdy tales and rude jokes and were depicted as such

losses and general wear with one horizontal crease running down one side

until then the breed were called "Saint Dogs" or "Alpenmastiff"
