One continuous metal line, bent into an upright Chihuahua
A single metal line, bent into a Chihuahua sitting upright with the head raised. The breed is carried by the slim chest and the ears alone, with nothing painted and nothing molded to help it along. At 4.17 in wide by 5.59 in tall it is the only one of the six that stands under six inches. It sits in our minimalist dog sculpture range.
A shelf object, not a wall panel
This outline is sold at two very different scales. Large metal wall panels are built to fill a wall; this is a hand-sized piece for a shelf, a desk or a windowsill. Photographed on their own the two look almost identical, so go by the figures rather than the picture. Compare it against our home decor and sculptures to place the scale.
What arrives
One flat metal piece in a single finish. No color to choose, no base to fit, nothing to assemble.
It stands on its own weight
Ours is sold as a freestanding surface piece. There is no adhesive pad in the box, no hook, and no wall-mount claim from us, because a shelf object is what this is and what we have verified. Set it where it will not be knocked, since the footprint is narrow. The rest of the range sits under dog home decor.
Keeping it looking the way it arrived
A dry soft cloth is all it needs. Keep household cleaners and metal polishes away from it and let the dry cloth do the work. Keep it out of humid rooms, never rinse it under a tap, and pick it up by the body rather than by the ears.
The other five breeds in the range
Six breeds share the same unbroken line, so a two-dog household can pair them on one shelf without the styles arguing. The Chihuahua is the shortest of the six, so a row of them will not read as level.
Closest to the Chihuahua
- Pomeranian, the largest footprint of the six, with a curled tail
- Beagle, seated with the head lifted, on a narrower footprint
