Very Unusual, Must See Brooch

Another piece I purchased at an estate sale about 12 years ago. I have always kept it because it's so unusual. He measures 2 3/4" tall and about 2" wide. If you have seen one or know anything about it please let me know. Every rhinestone is prong set.

 

Lovely. I've some with similar construction but no clue as to who made them.

 

Cool, a Russian Wolf Hound, very sleek!

 

Looks like an afghan hound to me. Pretty.

 

I would guess 1980s. Its very cool.

 

80s Art Deco Revival, from the look of him. I'd have bought him too, for the right price of course. No clue whodunnit.

 

Thanks all! Still going to keep him, he's so cute.

 

Looks very similar to a lot of Butler & Wilson pieces but without a mark I wouldn't say definitely. A lot of their signature pieces have flowing and moving rhinestone chains like this, they are usually very showy and sparkly.

 

Best I can tell....
Probably a she.

 

Anywhichway, it's Lovely!!!

 

B&W mark their stuff, especially of that age. I do agree on the similarity.

 

I've seen lots of items made in a similar fashion, all without marks. There were probably a lot of factories making them eventually.
