Britains 1920s St Bernard Dog with Painted Kennel Lead Figure

A charming original 1920s Britains St Bernard farm dog in hand painted lead, paired with a colourful painted kennel to create a wonderfully characterful miniature countryside scene.

The little St Bernard has a lovely presence despite measuring just 3.6 cm high, with its distinctive shape and hand painted finish capturing the simple detail of early Britains farm figures. The brightly painted kennel adds another layer of interest, giving the pairing a pleasing sense of place and a little more life than the figure alone.

The dog and kennel were not originally issued together and are not an exact scale match, but they complement one another beautifully. Together they create the impression of a small farmyard corner, with the St Bernard naturally becoming the focus of the scene.

Dating from the 1920s, the dog comes from an early period of Britains farm figure production, when everyday rural life was recreated in miniature with remarkable simplicity and character. The gentle paint wear across both pieces adds to their genuine vintage appeal.

A delightful little piece of early Britains countryside, with a distinctive St Bernard and colourful kennel creating a scene full of charm.
