Couple in a Bough with Swan and Bridge Below","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a great item for popping on top of the mantlepiece of an antique fireplace in a Victorian interior. The flatback figurine is designed to be seen set against a wall - the front is decorated but the back is left plain as you would not see this when it is on show.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a genuine 19th Century Victorian example, It looks just lovely on display - it is full of rustic charm. The colours are detailing are typical of these rural figurines which were produced in the 1870s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEveryday rural life was a popular subject at this time. They were made - not for more wealthy collectors of fine porcelain models - but for display in farmhouses and field worker's cottages. The subject produced were often subjects that reflected their own lifestyle. They capture a way of rural life - which was common in the 19th and early 20th centuries - but now has almost gone. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis figurine is of a diminutive size - and is a more unusual one. It is more of a little tableau that shows a man in a kilt and a wee lady wearing a pink jacket standing next to an arching bough. There is textured bocage on the tree-top. Below, is a square-built bridge over a stream - a little swan paddles in the water. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt dates to the later 19th century - and like all my Staffordshire figurines listed in my \u003cspan\u003eIconic Edinburgh online \u003c\/span\u003eshop, it is a genuine antique piece and NOT a modern reproduction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions:- it is 7 inches in height and 4 3\/4 inches wide - with a depth of 2 1\/4 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnpacked it is 500 grams. It has no damages or restorations. There is a minute firing crack to the front of the little lady's leg - in the making but that is the only issue. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Iconic Edinburgh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39327700418624,"sku":"Sold for £30 plus £5 Discount","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0271\/1902\/6240\/files\/victorian-staffordshire-flatback-figurine-couple-in-a-bough-with-swan-and-bridge-below-figure-886.webp?v=1787340366","url":"https:\/\/www.iconicedinburgh.co.uk\/products\/victorian-staffordshire-flatback-figurine-couple-bough-swan-and-bridge-below","provider":"Iconic Edinburgh","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
