20. A LONDON-DECORATED FIGURE OF A POLISH NOBLEMAN 1755-60 12.9 cm high Standing in traditional costume in his flowered cloak with yellow sash, and with a fur-trimmed hat, his sword at his side. This figure is loosely based on a Meissen original modelled by Peter Reinicke of around 1750 (for the model see Adams, (2004), p. 59 no. 140). Polish noblemen were unusual in Europe in preserving their traditional costumes, the ladies wore fashionable dress of the time but retained the traditional split sleeves.
