Britains 1920s Cockerel Lead Farm Figure on Stand

A characterful 1920s Britains cockerel in hand painted hollow cast lead, with warm brown colouring, a little green stand and finely defined feather detail.

The upright stance gives this cockerel a lively presence, while the painted feather definition adds surprising detail for a figure measuring just 3 cm high. The warm brown tones have mellowed naturally with age, giving the surface an appealing vintage character.

The original green stand is an especially lovely feature, giving the little bird a secure base and helping to emphasise its silhouette. Together, the stand and carefully modelled form create a charming example of the early Britains approach to bringing familiar farmyard life into miniature.

Produced by Britains Ltd during the 1920s, this cockerel comes from the early years of British farm figure production. Its small scale, original painted detail and simple rural subject make it a particularly appealing piece from this formative period of Britains history.

A lively little farmyard bird with lovely feather detail, an original green stand and plenty of character in just 3 cm.
