Description
Staffordshire Fairground Drummer Figure c.1875. This genuine Victorian Staffordshire figure is modelled as a girl standing by a large drum with two flags above it. The figure is painted in overglaze enamels and stands on a naturalistic oval base. The figure represents a fair worker who's task was to announce the newly arrived circus or fair by marching through the town playing instruments and literally drumming-up trade. We welcome any queries regarding the figure. Please message us and we will be delighted to help.
