Britains 1920s Black Cat Tiny Lead Farm Figure

A charming tiny 1920s Britains black cat in hollow cast lead, with a simple seated form and hand painted finish that captures the quiet character of an early farmyard miniature.

Made by Britains Ltd during the early period of its farm figure production, this little cat has an appealing simplicity. Its dark painted finish gives it a particularly distinctive appearance, while the compact form reflects the careful modelling found in Britains’ early animal figures.

At just a few centimetres in scale, this little black cat has a lovely presence amongst larger farm figures and accessories. Cats were familiar sights around traditional farms, and this miniature offers a charming glimpse of those everyday countryside scenes recreated in lead.

The original painted surface has naturally mellowed with age, adding to the authentic character of this early figure while retaining its simple feline form.

A tiny black cat with understated character and all the charm of early Britains farm figures.
