A Royal Worcester parian figure, after Antonio Canova, of Pauline Borghese as Venus Victorious, modelled by James Hadley, c.1866, with gilt and pink enamel highlights, partial printed mark, 59.5cm long, some restoration to edge of base

More Information

Typical small firing cracks all over. Numerous small splinter chips around the edge of the base with some discoloured restoration to some of these splinter chips on the front edge of the plinth. Small areas of restoration to her right big toe and the corner of the cushion on the far left corner. The base is not completely flat and curves upward slightly towards the far end. Generally grubby all over and would benefit from a clean, otherwise in reasonable condition.
