It is a most attractive example... I love it!  I also like the addition of the Prince's grey top hat resting on the rump of the horse. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis would have been a fabulous item to pop onto a fireplace in a Victorian sitting room. I have taken lots of images for your inspection.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe horse's legs are very fine indeed - and I can't believe that this delicate figurine has survived about 140 years with no damages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a large size: measuring some 11 3\/4 inches in height; 8 inches wide and with a depth of 2 3\/4 inches. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a genuine antique example - and certainly not a reproduction piece. The figurine is in the good antique condition. There is a hairline cracks around the Prince's neck - this is not damage but has sadly occurred in the firing process. It does not go all around the neck area - and it is very fine, confined only to the surface.  You don't see it unless under close inspection - I have taken close-up photographs for your inspection - and my much reduced price takes this into consideration. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lettering on the base has been painted in black rather than the usual gold paint. I think that this might be original to the figurine as it ties in the the black of the reins, mane and tail. There are no other signs of the use of any gold on this model. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUK will be with Parcelforce24 - this will be applied to your order at the checkout.  I will also take out private insurance against loss or damage in transit. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Iconic Edinburgh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55944238301563,"sku":null,"price":135.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0271\/1902\/6240\/files\/large-staffordshire-figurine-of-edward-vii-then-the-prince-wales-on-horseback-11-3-4-inches-figure-834.webp?v=1786555147","url":"https:\/\/www.iconicedinburgh.co.uk\/products\/large-staffordshire-figurine-of-edward-vii-the-prince-of-wales-on-horseback","provider":"Iconic Edinburgh","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
