19th Century

This remarkable Victorian-era stick stand, crafted in the second half of the 19th century, exemplifies the exceptional craftsmanship of the Coalbrookdale Company. Fashioned in cast iron, it showcases a whimsical design of a beloved Chihuahua holding a riding crop in its mouth, paired with a removable lily pad-shaped drip tray. Its unique form and historical significance make it a rare and highly sought-after example of 19th-century cast iron artistry.

The red and white-painted Chihuahua is beautifully detailed, capturing the charm and character of the breed, which gained popularity in England during the 1800s. The design, patented in 1852, was prominently featured in Coalbrookdale's 1875 Iron Foundry catalog of castings.

The Coalbrookdale Company, founded in 1709 by Abraham Darby, is celebrated as one of England’s most important producers of cast iron. Their innovations in metallurgy, including the first cast iron bridge and cast iron rails, earned the company a Gold Medal from the Society of Arts in 1790. Known for their ornate and durable creations, Coalbrookdale produced a wide range of products, from garden furniture to architectural items, each reflecting their mastery in design and function.
