Hunting Dogs

Within our collection of silver dog sculptures, we dedicate a special selection to hunting dogs, portraying with particular attention to detail the breeds most associated with this tradition, from their characteristic stance to the specific proportions of each breed. These pieces bring together two passions with a long history in Portugal: hunting, practised for centuries, and silver goldsmithing, worked using chisel and hammer techniques passed down through generations at our workshops. It is a collection designed both for hunters wanting a piece that reflects their passion, and for collectors of animalier sculpture, a genre with a strong tradition in European goldsmithing. Each sculpture is handcrafted, capturing the expression and movement characteristic of these dogs, in a piece that easily becomes the centrepiece of a shelf, desk or collector's display case. It is also a distinctive gift option for a hunting or working-dog enthusiast, whether to mark a birthday or as an institutional token of recognition. Each piece is manufactured at the Leitão & Irmão workshops in Lisbon, and certified by the Portuguese National Assay Office (INCM). If you are looking for a meaningful sculpture piece within the world of hunting, this selection is the right place to start, whether for your own collection or as a gift for someone who shares that passion.
