A scarce little semi-porcelaneous figure depicting Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington.
Wellington wears military garb with a sword in his left hand and a plumed hat in his right.
This simple but effective figure is hollow-based. It is in very good condition with some light flaking and some fading of the gilded features. The glaze has been incorrectly made giving the whole figure a rough texture, but this does not affect its appearance.
Reference: A. & N. Harding, Victorian Staffordshire Figures 1835 - 1875: Book One, p. 141, fig. 354
Height: 5.5”
Date: c. 1840s
