Nostalgia Durbar India Maharajah Figure (1 Viewer)

[TheDurbarMan]

Hi All, I attach some photos of a figure of a maharajah that I have in my collection which I understand is by Nostalgia. It depicts a maharajah seated on a throne (which is shaped like Maharajah Ranjith Singh’s golden throne at the V&A museum) beneath an umbrella canopy. I have a similar figure of another maharajah wearing red seated on a throne without the umbrella (there is a hole where the umbrella should be fixed). Has anyone else come across any similar figures and if so please can you share photos? I have often wondered whether these were from a particular series and if so what other pieces formed part of this series? In addition do you know if there was footstool for the throne? Best wishes

Check out our earlier album, Durbar Market (about photo #19).

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle may not have minded his his presence at the Durbar as much as the fact that he shipped a Handsome Cab & a cockney driver from old Blighty.

Marlborough's Durbar was a Great Range!
