An attractive and crisply modelled figure depicting Queen Victoria’s sixth child, Princess Louise, Duchess of Argyle, and her husband John Campbell, Marquess of Lorne. The figure was made circa 1871 to celebrate their marriage.
The figure is unusually attractive and detailed for a figure of this period. The modelling is especially crisp and the figure was likely one of the first out of the mould. The colouring is typically sparse but conservative and tasteful, and well-executed.
The figure is in excellent original condition.
The Hardings record this figure - a centrepiece to a similar separated pair - as being found 9” high, though this particular figure is the less commonly found smaller version, measuring only 7.5” high.
Reference: A. & N. Harding, Victorian Staffordshire Figures 1835 - 1875L Book One, p. 206, fig. 705
Height: 7.5”
Date: c. 1871
Provenance: A substantial, high-quality private collection, name unknown. (The former owner’s reference label has been left attached should the buyer be able to identify other figures from the same collection.)
