DEERHOUND COLLECTABLES

This page will be building as and when we get the pictures. We want to disaplay collectables poeple have managed to find over the years. It can include bronzes, paintings anything, new or old. If you have an item please let us have a picture. We do not intend to mention where these are or who has them but it might make an interesting display. A little history, if you have it, would be very nice. send your images to me

We visited Paul Braybrook recently and both he and his dogs are doing well. Hal, who Eve took on after Cecily died, has now left this world I wonder if he was the last Dufault dog alive.

On your website under "Information needed" you wonder if Paul Braybrooke's Hal was the last surviving Dufault hound. I thought you'd like to know that Dufault Amethyst (pet name Cardhu) is still alive and well. She is the dam of our Grafton of Peopleton and Grand-dam of Cloweswood Scilla and Cloweswood Acer of Peopleton. I think she's 9 or 10 years old. She lives with Mike and Sandy Southgate and her son Brackla (brother of Grafton). Dee

Whilst there Paul asked us if we could find any information on a clay sculpture of a deer hound at rest. It was given to Eve by a niece after Dr Phillis Poyner-Wall had died. I searched on the internet but could no find anything. It looks in the style of Les Animaliers and has the markings "M C 1890" on it.

The size is L 29cm W 18cm H 10cm. Apparently the patina on the nose is where Phillis used to stroke its nose each day. Eve thought that it might be a model which was eventually going to be cast in bronze. Perhaps you could put the pictures up with the Deerhound collectables with a request for information. I have also included a picture of a ceramic tile 20cm * 20cm which I bought about 25 years ago & which I was told was Victorian. The picture "Three of a kind" is a limited edition print by Kay Watson which I bought in 1987. I hope this is of interest to you. Pete and Marvin Jones

I thought you might like this print I found in a small antique in the English midlands a few years back. It's called "In The Highlands" by N. Drummond. Image size is 11" x 71/4". The small print at the top reads: Raphael Tuck & Sons, Ltd London, Paris, Berlin and New York. Publishers to their Majesties the King and Queen. Printed in England. At first I thought it was a page out of a book but there is no printing on the other side. Carole Havercroft Bermuda

Greetings, Nel Smeding, The Netherlands

The bronze is signed G.Gardet, It is a French artist, who lived in the 19th century. Is measures 39 cm and 37 cm. high.

I am sure you know who this artist is? (Mick Cawston) we purchased this at the Deerhound Club Show at the Great Danes Hotel Maidstone in 2006.

this is a print from the original of Brutus at @Bridge Sollers by Cecil Aldin - this picture (owned by the Kennel Club) was featured in the Nessy Linton article in the Spring Deerhound Club spring newsletter. I first saw the original at Crufts when our first Deerhound Shona was only 9 months old and obtained the print and had it framed for our Wedding Anniversary. All our friends thought it was a painting of Shona and it has pride of place on our dining room wall.

No 5 - these are two John Stansfield limited edition bronzes (purchased as present for Fred!!)

This print I purchased from Ebay for £4.50 and was a print from an original by an artist from Tiverton, Devon. The photo does not do the print justice, and I like this one!.
