A good R&L Parian Golden Jubilee bust of Queen Victoria

A finely detailed Parian bust of Queen Victoria by Robinson and Leadbeater, made in celebration of her Golden Jubilee in 1887, after a sculpture by R J Morris.  The separate socle is fixed by a brass nut and bolt. 

Height 23.5cm (9.5")

In this bust the Queen is shown wearing the Small Diamond Crown, a miniature imperial and state crown made at the request of Queen Victoria in 1870 to wear over her widow's cap following the death of her husband, Prince Albert. This crown is now on display as part of the Crown Jewels in London.

Condition.  Very good. A small loss to the tip of the crown and a faint small chip to the rear top of the socle
