1920s Britains Hen Lead Farm Figure on Green Stand

A cream and red farmyard hen with feather detail and its original green stand.

This original 1920s hen was made by Britains Ltd in hollow cast lead. Standing approximately 2.5 cm high, its compact form combines modelled feather detail with hand painted decoration. The green base provides a distinct contrast to the pale body.

A familiar subject for anyone who keeps chickens or remembers a childhood toy farm, this little hen brings an everyday countryside animal into miniature. Age related paint wear gives the surface an individual appearance while leaving the bird’s form clearly defined.

Display it in a small cabinet, beside country pottery or alongside other farm birds in a diorama. Its cream colouring stands out against dark wood, making it an easy detail to pick out within a group.
