What I notice first is how much detail sits in so little depth: the feathering on the setter's ears, the tight curl of foliage underfoot, the pointer's tail swept out behind him. Nothing on the face names a maker, and I'm not going to guess at one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Maker | Unidentified\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Signature | None visible on the face. The relief sits behind glass and was not removed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Material | Gilt metal relief on velvet. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Subject | A standing pointer and a reclining setter on a foliage base\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Origin | English frame. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Age | 19th century, assessed on the frame and the square-cut nails in the backboard. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Frame Size | 8 in.

It reads as gilt metal. The gilt is bright yellow with a matte textured ground and brighter highlights, and there are orange-red tones in places that may be wear to the gilding or the metal beneath. There is a small raised pit on the setter's haunch that appears to be a casting imperfection. The green velvet is dusty and shows its age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe frame is worn with age. There is a chip at the lower left outer corner where the dark edge and surface have worn through, smaller chips at the other corners, pale marks along the top rail, and some roughness and flaking along the dark right-hand edge. The gilt inner slip is worn. The glass is clear with no bubbles or waves, and I am not calling it original.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe back is two wooden boards with a split along the joint, held in with square-cut nails. The boards are stained and abraded with age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003ePlease review all photographs closely, as they form part of this description.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Austyn Marie Design","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67636992049430,"sku":"ENM-2428","price":475.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/4623\/5926\/files\/October2026-11880.jpg?v=1791245905","url":"https:\/\/austyn-marie-design.myshopify.com\/products\/antique-gilt-hunting-dog-relief-rosewood-shadowbox-frame-19th-century","provider":"Austyn Marie Design","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
