A Staffordshire Figure 0f Nellie Chapman - circa 1847



The "Lady of the Lions"

Wombwell's Menagerie Lion Queen.


Wombwell's Menagerie
Travelled throughout England
and Wombwell's niece Nellie Chapman
was the second Lion Queen.
She famously performed for Queen Victoria
in 1847 at Windsor.
Nellie got married and was superceded
by the unfortunate Ellen Bright.


This is a wonderful Staffordshire figure,
attractive, full of history,
superbly modelled,
loads of colour,
cobalt blue, nicely gilded with a lovely glaze.

This a very rare figure,
especially in excellent condition -
the floral hoop is almost always restored.


There is no restoration.


Height: 12 inches
