SOLD - Rare 1750 St James of London Porcelain fob seal ( Gentleman)

This product is currently unavailable
Quantity:
I adore these rare early porcelain figures.
Made by Charles Guoyn of the St James of London factory around 1750.
This factory was known for these fine quality porcelain miniatures and ran from 1749-1759. It the became the now famous Chelsea porcelain factory.
This figure was originally made as a fob seal and attached to a watch chain.
It has over the years lost its metal ring and metal band which would have held the seal in place.
This wonderful chap is seated and playing a lute. His dog and his sheep at his feet.
The detail is incredible for such a tiny figure.
Sadly he has at some time list his left hand and there are a few minor nibbles here and there. None of these detract though from the wonderful and rare little chap who is nearly 300 years old.
He’s is just 3 cm tall.
These little figures are wonderful displayed in early dolls houses.
Measures 3 cm tall.
