Hound Lamp.

This Traditional Golden Brown hound is a splendidly carved piece. Standing at 27 inches, it has a bronzed metal finish and perfectly defines the best characteristics of a hunting hound.

Right from the slim waist to the curved tail in action, the figure speaks of an animated moment where the dog is seeking further direction for the hunt. The whole posture exudes the presence of an intelligent animal trying to understand what her master requires from her. The lithe figure and the shapely legs show the hound in her prime.

An asset to any study and any dog lover.

A Dog Lamp for a study!

As soon as I saw this beautiful lamp, the image came to me of the old days, in a nice warm firelit study, with a sheaf of books...and shotguns nearby for hunting!

This fits in very well with that sort of ambiance given the fact that the dog in question is a pointer. Absolutely lovely in conception, the anatomy of the dog is laid out in marvelous detail. The dark wood gives it a lush, serious expression and the pose is superbly executed.

One of the nicest Dog lamps I have seen. Most lamps don't really come close to depicting all the details of the dog, but this one obviously had a dog lover for a maker.

I don't know why, but it seems like a female pointer or a golden retriever?!

Kitsch Dog Lamps

At £50 each, these pretty halogen lamps have quite captured our imagination. There's something unusual about the texture of these playful dog lamps that give a great overall impression when lighted.

Available in many colors including white, red, and orange, each stands just a shy higher than a foot. When lit up, depending on the density of that area, the light shines through in a different hue, and this makes it a very colorful night companion.

Dog Lamps - Dancing Dogs

This week's dog lamp is unusual. Instead of depicting a scene from real dog life, it tries to project a human situation onto our furry friends.

Of course, this doesn't mean it's not lovely. The two dogs seem to be dancing together, or even taking their vows to swear fidelity to one another! A very pretty scene.



Unfortunately, the website doesn't give many details about this particular dog lamp, like the material it's made of. If I had to guess however, I would say it's porcelain. The price tag is a bit steep at $260. Maybe it has some other significance that we're not aware of.

But nonetheless, nice to look at, and a funny addition to a dog lover's home decor.

So? Wacky or tacky? What do you think dear Dog lover?

Silver Dog Lamp - Mother with pup

This lovely silver dog lamps shows a Whippet Mother who looks as if she's chastising her pup. The lamp is large - over 2 feet, though the actual dog figurines are just about a foot tall.

It's expensive though. Selling for just shy of $1500, it's not something that anyone can just pick off the shelf apart from collectors. It is rather splendid though.

The Whippet is a breed of dog belonging to the sighthound group. They have very little fur, and are great as apartment dogs. Interestingly, the males are as unaggressive as the females.

Spooky Dog

It doesn't look as if there's anything special about this dog lamp. Not until you turn in on anyway. Made out of lightweight polypropylene, when lit up, the lamp glows from inside to reveal a skeleton!

Even the color of the eye changes to red. This can mean one of two things. Either the dog is really a ghost under the guise of a harmless pup, or he/she is being electrocuted!

A hunting we will go.

Rare Antique Dog Lamp.

We have a special treat for you guys this week! A rare antique Scottish dog lamp with two Scottish terriers. Made of cast Iron, and with wrinkled paint, they are at least 60-70 years old have been refitted with a 7ft cord.

The attitude of the dogs is that of rapt wonder or curiosity as can be gleaned by the cocked ears. An unusual showpiece, and one that is likely to draw several curious comments.
