A wonderful group of English Staffordshire “Comforter” Spaniels

the front row, the 7” H pair are impressed with the number 5; all of the
aforementioned are “flatbacks.” The pair in the middle have separated
front legs and are 6½” H, these were never meant to be displayed on a
mantel as they are decorated, “all around” and could be viewed from all
angles. All of the Spaniels are c. 1860-70.

A fine and large example of an English
Staffordshire Lion on a marbelized base
with one paw resting on a white sphere,
12” L x 10” H, c. 1810-30.
By way of background, a pair of these lions
were originally sculpted and created in the
16th c., for the Grand Duke of Tuscany,
Fernando l de’ Medici, to serve as majestic
ornaments for his villa’s garden staircase.
And, although they were later moved to
Florence in the 17th c. to flank the steps
of the Loggia dei Lanzi at the Piazza della
Signoria, they have retained their reference
as the “Medici Lions.” In the mid-late 18th c.
through the mid-19th c., examples of these
lions began appearing throughout England
and were copied extensively throughout
the potteries.
