Leonard Churchill the Bulldog Sculpture by Currey & Company

Currey & Company's Leonard Churchill the Bulldog is a delightful blend of personality, craftsmanship, and artistic charm. Sculpted in terracotta by emerging Thai artist Nhut Nhathawut, this whimsical figure captures the steadfast spirit of the beloved bulldog with remarkable character and lifelike detail. From his furrowed brow to his stocky stance, Leonard exudes a presence that feels almost animate - like he might bark or shift his weight at any moment.

The handcrafted quality of the piece is evident in the expressive strokes and tool marks that dance across the surface of the terracotta, adding texture and emphasizing the artist's hand in the creation. These artisanal touches enhance the sculpture's authenticity and visual interest, making Leonard both a character and a conversation piece.

Adding to the sculpture's charm is a humorous description from Brownlee Currey, who muses: Broad, strong and steadfast, Leo would rather be at home with family than appear as the mascot of your sporting event. Lazing about the residence, he does rather wonder what all those working dog types might be up to. Probably no good!

Whether displayed on a shelf, console, or floor, Leonard Churchill the Bulldog brings warmth, whimsy, and a touch of storytelling to any interior.

Shop All Currey and Company Lighting

Currey & Company, known today for its vibrant collection of lighting products, started its existence in 1988 as a purveyor of historic garden furnishings. When Robert B. Currey founded Garden Source Furnishings, the main focus of the company was the creation and marketing of classic garden furniture from the Winterthur Museum and the Smithsonian Institution. These collections were joined by a very American collection of garden whimsies, birdhouses and rustic twig furniture. Some lighting products were among these first offerings and by the early 1990?s the lighting category had become very important. Accordingly, the name of the company was changed to Currey & Company to embrace a new focus on products for the interior. Chandeliers and wall sconces today form a significant part of the company?s business and these goods are characterized by the attention and detailing that goes into their manufacturing and finishing. Currey & Company brings to the marketplace merchandise that not only speaks of the touch of the human hand, but also utilizes a myriad of natural materials. Hand forged iron products have long been the specialty of the company, but the range of materials has been extended to include a variety of materials such as hand-carved wood, porcelain and brass. ?Currey International? has made it possible for the company to develop and produce a variety of unique hand made products and materials. One of these is concrete hand formed to create fashionable furnishings of ?faux bois.? Seashells and other natural materials also figure strongly in the Currey & Company product line.
