Lot of Ten Brass Boer War Period Colonial Troop Figures
This lot comprises ten brass figures of colonial troops in the style associated with the Boer War period. Each figure is a standing soldier modelled in a slim, flat profile, and the group offers a cohesive set for collectors of military miniatures and historical metalwork.
The figures are cast in brass and show a uniform, upright stance, with each soldier holding a slender rifle held across or alongside the body. Several figures display fine detailing to the headwear and tunic, and the group contains a consistent pose and scale throughout. The set is presented together as one lot.
Condition and Patina on a Historical Set
The figures show general age-related wear consistent with their period, and several display areas of green patina, typical of aged brass. Some rifles and extremities appear slightly worn or bent, and surface finish varies from figure to figure. No figure is described as complete or in working order, and buyers should inspect the lot closely before bidding.
Because the ten figures are offered together, this lot may appeal to collectors building a themed display of Boer War era military figures, or to those interested in early colonial troop representations. Its original patina and grouped presentation add to its character for enthusiasts of antique brass collectibles.
