A sweet tiny 1920s Britains rabbit in hand painted hollow cast lead, with soft cream and brown colouring and a gentle crouched pose.
Measuring just 1.5 cm high, this little rabbit has a lovely sense of character despite its tiny proportions. The compact crouching form and simple painted detail give it the quiet charm of an early countryside miniature.
Made by Britains Ltd during the 1920s, this figure comes from the Farm Animals range, where familiar animals and wildlife were recreated in carefully modelled lead. The cream and brown finish remains particularly appealing, with only minimal paint loss after more than a century.
The rabbit brings another little piece of woodland and countryside life to the early Britains figures, sitting naturally alongside the tiny squirrel, birds and other farm animals. Its small scale makes the simplicity of the modelling especially enjoyable.
A beautifully preserved tiny rabbit from the 1920s, with gentle colouring and the quiet character of an early British miniature.
