Description
Every morning at nine, Madame Leroux walks her poodle, Chou-Chou, along the Avenue Montaigne. The dog is fluffed and trimmed to perfection, pom-poms bouncing, nose held high as they pass the designer windows. Shopkeepers wave, waiters set out a water bowl, and tourists ask for photographs. Chou-Chou tolerates it all with the patience of a film star who has seen everything before. Back home, after the walk, she sleeps on a velvet cushion by the window, one ear still listening for the click of her mistress’s heels in the hall.
This white poodle carries that same proud elegance. Delicate brushwork captures the curly coat and graceful stance, and the whole piece radiates a certain Parisian poise. It is an obvious delight for a poodle owner, a dog groomer, or someone who has loved and lost a curly companion. Place it beside a framed photograph on a dressing table, or on a hall shelf where it can greet visitors with quiet dignity. The hinged lid opens to keep a tag, a ring, or a small treasure safe.
