A powerful stance and an elongated body give this miniature tiger a presence beyond its size.
This original 1940s tiger was made by Britains Ltd for its Zoo Series. The hand painted finish picks out the modelled features, while the strong stance gives the animal a sense of movement.
At 8 cm long, this larger example has room for its shape and detail to stand out. It might recall a childhood animal collection or simply appeal to someone drawn to big cats and wildlife.
Display it beside a favourite natural history book, inside a small cabinet or within a miniature zoo scene. Against plain contemporary pottery or warm wood, its animal form adds an unexpected focal point.
A distinctive British animal miniature with the unmistakable character of a tiger.
