Basset Hound 3D Wall Art | Framed Basset Hound Gift

Basset Hound 3D wall art finished in a gold or silver leaf effect. A calm, gallery-style portrait of the breed for a Basset Hound home, and a lasting memorial tribute to a dog who was never once in a hurry.

The Soulful Hound. Nobody mistakes a Basset Hound for anything else. The ears give it away first, long and velvet-soft, sweeping the ground on every walk and stirring up scent for a nose that is second only to the Bloodhound. Then there is the face: the heavy brow and loose folds of skin, and the deep, patient eyes that look sorrowful and are anything but. Anyone who has lived with one knows that behind the mournful look is a stubborn, food-obsessed clown who leans on your legs and refuses to be rushed. This handcrafted relief artwork captures the head and those famous ears in raised 3D, so the folds of the brow, the drop of the ears and the broad, square muzzle all hold real shadow instead of sitting flat on paper.

Why it is special:

• Sculpted in 3D Relief: This is not a flat print. The artwork is sculpted in raised relief, following the domed skull, the folds above the eyes and the long curl of the ears right down to their tips. The texture catches the light and changes as you move past it, which is what gives the face its patient, watching expression.

• Hand-Gilded Finish: We hand-finish every piece in metallic leaf to create a sharp, shimmering contrast against the deep black background. Because the leaf is laid by hand in sheets, each piece carries fine seams and slight variation in the metal. That is the signature of a gilded finish rather than a machine-printed one, and it means no two pieces are identical.

  • Gold effect: Warm and rich, a natural match for the tan and lemon in a classic tricolour coat, and the finish most people choose for a living room or hallway.

  • Silver effect: Bright and crisp, with more contrast against the black. Suits grey, white and modern interiors.

• Make it Personal (+£4.99): Add a name or dates in our elegant calligraphy script (for example Bertie or Daisy 2011 - 2024) to make it a personalised Basset Hound gift, or a memorial to a hound who has gone on ahead.

• Gallery Quality Framing: Arrives fully framed and ready to hang. We use a deep black wooden box frame with a crisp white mount and glass front for a consistent, premium gallery look.

Perfect For:

• A Basset Hound memorial: A dignified way to keep a much-loved hound in the room. Add the name and dates and it becomes a quiet dog memorial gift for a friend who has lost theirs, or for yourself.

• The Basset Hound owner: A Basset Hound gift for a birthday or Christmas that is not a mug or a tea towel. Anyone who owns the breed will recognise the ears from across the room.

• Hallways and living rooms: The black frame and white mount sit well on sage, cream and grey walls, and the piece reads clearly from a distance because the shape is so distinctive.

• A new puppy: For the house that has just been taken over by a low, long puppy with ears it has not grown into yet.

Questions people ask

Is this a portrait of my own Basset Hound?
No. This JP Designs piece is a breed portrait, not a likeness of a particular dog. It shows the head and ears of a classic Basset Hound, front on, in raised relief. Most owners add their dog's name or dates in calligraphy for £4.99 to make it theirs.

Can I use it as a Basset Hound memorial?
Yes. Choose the personalisation option and add a name with the years, for example Daisy 2011 - 2024, and it arrives framed and ready to hang as a memorial piece.

What is the artwork made from?
The raised relief is sculpted in plant-based PLA, then gilded by hand in metallic leaf and set on a black panel behind glass in a black wooden box frame.

What is the gold finish?
It is a gold leaf effect, applied by hand in metallic leaf sheets against the black background. Hand gilding gives the warmth and shimmer of a gilded surface, with the fine seams and variation that machine printing cannot reproduce.

Will my piece look exactly like the photographs?
Very close, but not identical. Hand-laid leaf carries fine seams and slight variation in the metal, so every piece has its own character.

Does it arrive ready to hang?
Yes. It arrives fully framed with a glass front, ready to hang straight from the box.
