Description

A collectable Britains lead racehorse and jockey figure representing the famous racing colours of the Astor family, one of the most influential names in British horse racing during the twentieth century.

The jockey is depicted wearing the distinctive blue and pink silks associated with Astor-owned runners, mounted upon a grey racehorse with detailed tack and bridle.

Produced by Britains as part of their celebrated racing series, these figures were designed to portray notable owners and racing stables, bringing the excitement of the turf into miniature form.

Today they remain highly desirable amongst collectors of lead figures, horse racing memorabilia, and vintage toys.

The model captures the elegance of both horse and rider while retaining the charm and character that has made Britains racing figures enduringly popular for generations.

A wonderful addition to a collection of sporting memorabilia, lead figures, or equestrian antiques.
