Royal Worcester Porcelain Figure “The Young Mozart” Model 1487, 1928

1900 - 1920
Description

Royal Worcester bone china figure representing “The Young Mozart”, model 1487. The young violinist stands on a circular gilt base, tuning his instrument, with a stool and books placed behind him. The modelling is academic and carefully detailed in the hands and drapery. Decorated in softly matt enamels with restrained gilt accents to the base. Factory marks and impressed model number 1487 to the underside.

The model derives from the larger 1890 composition created to mark the centenary of Mozart’s death. This cabinet-size interpretation was produced in limited numbers and is notably less common than the monumental version. The design is attributed to Sir Thomas Brock, later a distinguished British sculptor.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Royal Worcester began producing detailed figures in the mid-18th century, gaining renown for historical, allegorical, and cultural subjects. Models depicting famous musicians and composers were sculpted by master craftsmen like James Hadley in the late 19th century and remained in production through the early 20th century.

These figures were cast in fine bone china or porcelain body using multi-part plaster moulds. After an initial bisque firing, artisans applied hand-painted enamel glazes and liquid gold accents before a final glaze firing to secure the finish.

Authentic pieces feature a printed factory mark on the base, often incorporating a crown, circle, and central crescent. Date codessuch as dots, stars, or year marksindicate the precise year of manufacture, alongside impressed or printed shape and model numbers.

Displaying porcelain figures inside glazed cabinets, on open bookshelves, or atop a piano creates a sophisticated focal point. Grouping them with books, framed artwork, or minimalist glass items balances traditional craftsmanship with modern interior aesthetic.

Dust figures regularly using a soft brush or microfibre cloth, paying extra attention to delicate elements like violin bows or fingers. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners and immersive washing, as water can damage unglazed bases or delicate gilded highlights.
