Irish Wolf Hound Dog Head Pin D104

With its towering stature and noble demeanor, the Irish Wolfhound is a breed rich in history and gentle in nature. Originating from Ireland, these hounds were once revered as formidable hunters, capable of taking down large game such as wolves and elk. Today, they are cherished as gentle giants, known for their calm and patient temperament. Distinguished by their rough, wiry coat, these dogs boast a commanding presence with their tall, lean build and deep chest. Their long, narrow head and small, dark eyes exude a look of intelligence and contemplation. Despite their imposing size, Irish Wolfhounds are known for their sweet, affectionate nature, often forming deep, loving bonds with their families. They are particularly good-natured with children and other pets. While they require regular exercise to maintain their health, their energy levels are relatively moderate. Irish Wolfhounds thrive in a spacious living environment where they can stretch out. Regular grooming is necessary to keep their coat in good condition. Their loyal and friendly disposition makes them excellent companions for those who appreciate a serene and majestic dog.

Craft & construction

Built to stay put. Our pins have two posts and clutches which hold it flat and ensure a spin-free application wherever you display it. It solves a common pin complaint. The 1/4-inch steel tacks are long enough to pass through most fabrics, about 1/4 inch, yet short enough to sit flush. And each clutch seats into a small groove on the post with a firm, satisfying click — haptic feedback that tells you it's locked, and a detail cheaper pins skip.

Hand-painted, marine-grade finish. Each hand-painted piece is carefully painted by an artisan right in our studio in Port Gamble, WA. The proprietary multistep process includes priming each piece followed by meticulous painting by hand in acrylics with fine detail work to bring the item to life with incredible detail. The final step adds a coating of marine-grade epoxy — a hard, clear finish that protects the artwork so our product can be used on a boat, outside, or other conditions highly resistant to fading or wear.

Certified American pewter. The antiqued finish is completely safe to touch — and the craft behind it has been refined over three decades. Each batch of pewter that arrives at our shop in Port Gamble, WA from an American supplier comes with a lab test showing the material is lead free.

Ready to give. Every item arrives attached to a backing card and sealed in plastic — clean, protected, and presentable as a gift the moment it arrives.
