Theatrical Figure of Jules Perrot
This is a Victorian Staffordshire figure of Jules Perrot playing the role of Albrecht in the London theater performance of Giselle. It is approximately 9 inches tall and is circa 1842-1845.
This figure may be found in Pugh's Staffordshire Portrait Figures book, page 401, figure 134. The figure in the book is poorly colored but this one is very well colored.

Samson and the Lion According to Pugh this figure is Samson from the bible in the act of opening a lion's jaw with both hands.

Circa 1840, it is in good condition with some flaking on his scarf and minuscule flaking on the lion's mane. Height: 12 3/4 inches Reference: Pugh (later edition), page E421, plate 97, fig 189 Price: $750 plus shipping and insurance Contact: Sheldon Ferber at sheldonferber@verizon.net |
