DESCRIPTION

The dog, Loyal, intuitive, steadfast, and heroic.

Sterling Silver with 18-Carat Gold Vermeil Interior

The faithful hound has appeared in art since Greek and Roman antiquity, depicted as a companion, hunter and guardian. Long regarded as a symbol of devotion and fidelity, the dog was later immortalised in the decorative figurines of the Staffordshire potteries during the 18th and 19th centuries. Cast in silver using the ancient lost-wax technique, this piece draws inspiration from their characteristic poses. Its perforated form recalls the historic pomander and Georgian scent traditions.

Opening to reveal a hidden chamber, the Hound can hold fragrance-infused material or a treasured keepsake.

LONDON CRAFT

Hound begins with drawings by Ferian’s designer and founder, brought to life in wax by an award-winning miniaturist sculptor. Each precision-engineered micro component is then lost-wax cast in sterling silver, hand-polished and assembled by a single master craftsperson.

The internal chamber receives an 18-carat gold vermeil finish designed to help protect against oxidation from perfume oils.

The finished piece is taken by bicycle to the London Assay Office in Hatton Garden for hallmarking, continuing a tradition of independently testing and marking precious metals that stretches back more than 700 years. From the first drawing to the final hallmark, every stage takes place within a five-mile radius in London, reflecting Ferian’s commitment to local craftsmanship and enduring British making traditions.
