A delightful Border Fine Arts “Best in Show” West Highland Terrier figurine, beautifully modelled and hand painted by Country Artists, specialists in realistic animal sculpture. Standing approximately 12 cm tall, this piece captures the alert stance and characterful expression of the Westie perfectly, complete with show-style pose and original hanging tag.
The figurine has never been displayed and has been stored carefully for a long period in its original green Border Fine Arts presentation box with internal packaging. Colours remain crisp and the sculpted fur detail is excellent throughout.
Please note: there appears to be a very small loss to the tip of one ear. This is subtle and not immediately obvious, and it is unclear whether this is part of the original sculpt or a minor storage-related loss. No other wear or damage is noted.
Border Fine Arts is one of Britain’s most respected names in animal sculpture, founded in Scotland and closely associated with Country Artists, the studio responsible for producing many of their figurines. Known for accuracy, charm, and expressive realism, their dog studies—especially pedigree breeds—are highly collectible.
The Best in Show series celebrates pedigree dogs in classic show-ring poses and remains particularly popular with breed enthusiasts.
