HUGE CAST IRON "BEEFEATER" FIRESIDE STATUE WITH FIRE IRON ETC ITEM NO 982

  ITEM NO 982

I* totally fell in love with this HUGE vintage cast iron half statue with 3 fire tools very brilliantly hidden, one is the sword at the top of his staff (fits into castle and forms part of the roof), the other two are hanging at the back of the statue. This item is well marked but as nearly always with cast iron most are illegible, I can read the 1 it says "beefeater" there are also quite a few numbers on the base, the back and also on the fire tools. He is very large and very very heavy, 91cms high, approx. 21cms wide and 29cms long. He definitely is a statement piece that would look good anywhere in your home. I looked on the net but couldn't find any Beefeaters, but there were English antique soldiers in armour mostly and the odd other whacky fire tool as well. He would have to be sent very carefully via courier as cast iron can be quite brittle.
