Solid Silver Irish Setter Dog - German - Circa 1905 by Berthold Muller
BERTHOLD MULLER
KB-MTTTT
A finely modelled solid silver figure of an Irish Setter, crafted in Germany around 1905 by the renowned sculptor and silversmith Berthold Müller. The dog is shown in a naturalistic walking pose, with excellent attention to anatomical detail, textured coat, and expressive head, reflecting the high standards of German silver of the period.
The figure is cleverly constructed as a novelty table piece, with the head and body separating to reveal a hollow interior, most likely intended originally table accessory. When assembled, the joins are discreet and the overall form remains elegant and lifelike.
An evocative and collectible piece, combining charm, craftsmanship, and functionality, and a fine example of early 20th-century German silver. Ideal for collectors of animal silver, continental silver, or distinctive decorative objects.
