Vintage English cast stone hunting dogs sitting on cast stone plinths. These are reproductions of the originals sculpted by French sculptor and animalier Alfred Jacquemart (1824 - 1896) and subsequently fabricated in cast iron at the Barbazat Iron Foundry and later the Val d'Osne  foundry in France.

Alfred Jacquemart (1824-1896) was one of the leading contributors to the French Animalier School of the 19th century. He produced numerous small groups of animals in bronze, but unlike many of his contemporaries, he also produced works in cast-iron which were founded by both the Barbezat and later the Val d'Osne foundries. A similar pair is illustrated in the 1857 catalogue produced by the Barbazat Iron Foundry.

A pair of French hunting dogs from the 19th century originals by Alfred Jacquemart for the Val d'Osne foundry.  These hounds on plinths are sold as a pair.
