Part of the Sebastopol complex in the Crimea.
The Crimean War !854 to 1856
led to some of the greatest Staffordshire Figures,
it was THE news and demand from our patriotic public
was met by our Staffordshire potters.
The siege of Sebastopol lasted from October 1854
until its fall in Sepember !855.
It marked a turning point in the war.
a great victory but it cost many many British lives.
These figures are as good as you will ever see,
the precious flags are in perfect condition,
as are both figures.
They are large versions of this model,
they are rare, in fact The Redan is very rare.
They are both in excellent condition.
There is no restoration.
