Royal Doulton Figurine The Coachman HN2282

Coachman (HN2282) was designed by Mary Nicoll and produced by Royal Doulton from 1963 to 1971. This impressive 7.25" figurine depicts a Georgian-era coach driver in period livery complete with tricorn hat and driving coat. The piece celebrates the romance of 18th-century travel and the skilled profession of coaching.

Mary Nicoll specialized in historical and occupational characters, and Coachman showcases her ability to capture both period accuracy and character personality. The coachman's confident stance and authentic costume details reflect the important role these drivers played in pre-railroad transportation. This piece appeals to collectors of coaching memorabilia, transportation history, and occupational figurines. 

This example is in mint condition - no chips, cracks, crazing, or restoration work. All original factory finish preserved with clear backstamp showing HN2282 and 1960s-era Royal Doulton mark. 

The relatively short 8-year production run makes Coachman less common than many Royal Doulton figurines from this era. Coaching and transportation-themed pieces represent a specialized collecting niche with dedicated enthusiasts. 

Perfect for collectors of coaching history, occupational characters, or Georgian period pieces. Pricing reflects scarcity and strong collector demand. Fully insured shipping across Canada with tracking.
