A Staffordshire Figure of two Ladies circa - 1850
A beautiful figure, probably two unidentified Actresses.
I examined and tried to buy exactly this wonderful figure at;
"The Property of Oliver Sutton Antiques"
sale in Christies South Kensington on 26th October 2000.
I was unsuccessful but never forgot what a stunning figure it was.
Illustrated in Harding Book 1 page 377 fig 1453
in the authors "Unidentified Characters" section.
This large figure is of fantastic quality,
the modelling, the painting, the condition,
it is an absolute beauty.
.
There is some very minor flaking and
there is no restoration.
Height: 12.25 inches
