This mid 19th-century Victorian Staffordshire pottery portrait group figure represents Turkey, England, and France as allies in the Crimean War. The earthenware construction has a glossy lead glaze with hand-painted enamel uniforms in cobalt blue, white, and orange, finished with gilded accents. The trifold group portrait features Sultan Abd-ul Medjid holding Queen Victoria's hand on the left, wearing a turban, long jacket, trousers, and a waist sash, while Napoleon III holds her other hand on the right, wearing an epauletted tunic, breeches, knee boots, and a waist sash. Queen Victoria wears a crown, an ermine-edged cloak, a bodice, and a long skirt with a sash. The figures stand together on a flatback moulded base with a gilt-lined edge and raised gilt lettering reading TURKEY - ENGLAND - France. The piece displays an old hairline fracture to the left side. Measuring 28 cm high, 25.5 cm wide, and 7.6 cm deep, this decorative figure suits placement on a mantelpiece within an English country house interior style.

Victorian Staffordshire portrait figures are lead-glazed earthenware ornaments produced in Staffordshire, England, during the 19th century, designed primarily to depict royalty, political figures, military commanders, and popular cultural figures.

These pieces were press-moulded from earthenware clay in multi-part press moulds, fired, coated in lead glaze, and subsequently decorated by hand with overglaze enamel paints and metallic gilding before a final lower-temperature firing.

Authentic 19th-century figures usually feature flat, unpainted or minimally modelled backs meant for mantelpiece display, visible mould seams, age-appropriate enamel wear, glaze crazing, and often a small release hole in the base.

Place the figure as a focal accent on a fireplace mantelpiece, styled alongside modern art prints or curated decorative items, or integrate it into a styled bookshelf vignette to add historic texture.

Dust gently with a dry, soft-bristled brush or clean using a soft cloth dampened lightly with warm water, taking care to avoid harsh detergents, abrasive rubbing, or soaking, which can damage overglaze enamels and gilding.
