A beautifully modelled pewter gentleman in a top hat, full of quiet confidence and Dickensian charm. Crafted in the manner of Belgian sculptor Léon Mignon, this figure carries the same expressive detail and subtle realism that defined his late-19th-century work.
Mounted on an ebony plinth, it has a refined, old-world presence, the kind of piece that feels at home in a library, study, or curiosity cabinet. The soft pewter patina gives it depth and warmth, adding to its timeless appeal.
