Lot #2139: Vintage Porcelain Military Figurine – “Officer Dragoon Guard 1815” – Hand-Painted Napoleonic Era Soldier with Gold Trim Base

Striking vintage porcelain figurine of a British Dragoon Guard officer from 1815, hand-painted in rich colours with gilt accents. This figurine comes from the same estate as the vintage radio collection featured in this auction, and it’s a fine addition for anyone who appreciates military history. The officer stands at attention in full dress uniform: a scarlet tunic with yellow facings, a white crossbelt and pale blue trousers. He wears a classic brass-crested helmet with a flowing black crest and rests his hands on his sword, with a sabretache bearing a gold star at his side. The detail continues all the way around the figure, from the crossbelt buckle on the back to the boots and grassy base. The base is labeled “Officer Dragoon Guard 1815,” the year of the Battle of Waterloo, and finished with a gold-trimmed edge. It’s a great display piece for collectors of military figurines, Napoleonic-era history enthusiasts or anyone building a regimental collection.
