A superbly crafted collector's item, destined to enrich the displays of the most discerning enthusiasts of military history and period objects. This exquisite statue stands out for its exceptional craftsmanship and astonishing technical detail, making it a rare and indisputably valuable work of art.
Subject and Style: The sculpture portrays a proud "English Band Major (Year 1958)," as proudly stated on the red plaque affixed to the base. The figure is depicted in full parade uniform with stunning realism, from the imposing plumed hat to the baton of command, to the complex checkered pattern of the uniform. Making this work unique is the rear cape: made with a jointed hinge, it is incredibly mobile, a deliberate constructional finesse that is extremely rare in sculptures of this type.
Material and Finish: The work is masterfully cast and chiseled in solid brass, enhanced by a luxurious and contrasting double silver and gold finish that brings out every single detail of the uniform. The soldier stands majestically on an elegant and heavy double plinth in onyx marble, characterized by magnificent and warm natural grain.
