Antique Oil Painting of a White Dog | Signed G.B. Fox | Ornate Aged Gilt Frame

Product Description:

This charming antique oil painting captures a beautiful white dog, poised gracefully against a dark, atmospheric backdrop. Painted with delicate brushwork, the artist has masterfully rendered the texture of the dog’s fur, giving it a lifelike presence. The painting is signed "G. Fox", and from the signature and style, I believe it to be the work of G.B. Fox (Garnet Bancroft Fox), an early 20th-century artist known for his landscapes and animal portraits.

Encased in an ornate antique frame with traces of its original gilded finish, this piece exudes timeless elegance, making it a wonderful addition to vintage home decor, antique collections, or dog lovers’ interiors. Whether displayed as a standalone piece or as part of a gallery wall, this painting brings a touch of classic charm and character to any space.

Condition:

The painting is in very good vintage condition, with no visible damage to the surface. The antique ornate frame shows wear and patina, with most of the original gilt finish worn away over time. However, this aged appearance enhances its vintage character, giving it an authentic timeworn charm. A small decorative detail on the frame is slightly loose, but it remains securely in place and does not affect the painting’s stability or display.
