Offered here from the dougfinds collection of curated
fashion, accessories, clothing, collectibles, and unique gifts is this delightful 1995
Byers' Choice Ltd. The Carolers butcher and dog figurine pairing, a
wonderfully whimsical vintage scene reminiscent of London's traditional
street vendors.
Dressed for
a busy day at the market, our cheerful butcher wears a finely striped blue
shirt, black bow tie, cream-colored apron, black trousers, and a charming woven
straw hat accented with a black ribbon and small holly decoration.
His
expressive, open-mouthed face captures the unmistakable character of the
beloved Byers' Choice Carolers collection.
But the
real personality of this charming display comes from his four-legged companion!
Seated
faithfully beside the butcher is an adorable little dog, proudly holding a
string of sausages in his mouth. It's a wonderfully playful detail that gives
the entire scene a sense of humor and storytelling.
