A fine and unusual figure depicting Queen Victoria.
She wears a cobalt jacket, white blouse with orange bow, pink skirt, and a top hat with a flowing shawl tied around it. She stands on a square cushion-textured base with gilt decorations.
This uncommon figure pairs with a figure of Prince Albert which is also available from this website, although they are a matched pair as they have different bases and are therefore being sold separately.
This figure is in reasonable restored condition. The left hand is restored to an acceptable standard (though it is not invisible at close inspection), as has the front of the hat (though this is rather better) Much of the gilt has faded and there is some discolouration in places. Nevertheless, this figure displays very well.
Reference: A. & N. Harding, Victorian Staffordshire Figures 1835 - 1875: Book One, p. 162, fig. 441
Height: 7.75”
Date: c. 1840s
Provenance: Christie’s, 7th September 1995, lot 228
