Pair Staffordshire figure of Sir Robert Sale&Lady Sale

Victorian, circa 1840. Tallest is 7.9ins (20 cm) high, 3.9ins (10 cm) wide, 2.2ins (5.5 cm)

depth.

Pair of Staffordshire figures with a military theme which feature Sir Robert and Lady

Florentia Sale on horseback, seated on on an oval base.. The pieces have possibly been

matched together at some stage. We think this because they have different crazing

The pieces are titled, 'Sir R Sale' and 'Lady Sale' to the fronts of the bases

Multi-coloured with underglaze blue version. Dull gilt titles and embellishment. Flatback,

decorated mainly to the front. Vent hole to the underside.
