Royal Doulton The Mayor HN2280 - 8.25" Figurine

Mayor (HN2280) was designed by Mary Nicoll and produced by Royal Doulton from 1963 to 1971. This dignified 8.25" figurine depicts a town mayor in traditional ceremonial robes and chain of office, celebrating British civic tradition and municipal government. The piece belongs to Royal Doulton's Civic and Official Characters series.

Mary Nicoll specialized in character and occupational figurines, bringing authenticity and dignity to civic officials. Mayor showcases her attention to ceremonial costume detail including the ornate mayoral chain, official robes, and authoritative bearing. This piece appeals to collectors of civic memorabilia, British governmental traditions, and occupational characters. 

This example is in mint condition - no chips, cracks, crazing, or restoration work. All original factory finish preserved with clear backstamp showing HN2280 marking from 1960s production. 

The relatively short 8-year production run makes Mayor less common than many Royal Doulton character pieces from this era. Civic and governmental figurines represent a specialized collecting niche popular among municipal officials, local government historians, and collectors of British institutional traditions. 

Perfect for civic officials, collectors of governmental characters, or British institutional tradition enthusiasts. Ideal gift for retiring mayors or municipal officials. Fully insured shipping across Canada with tracking.
