Royal Doulton Figurine Past Glory HN2484

Past Glory (HN2484) was designed by Mary Nicholl and produced by Royal Doulton from 1973 to 1979. Standing 7.5 inches tall, this poignant figurine depicts a Chelsea Pensioner (retired soldier) sitting on a shipping trunk, holding a bugle and wearing his medals with pride. Part of the Golden Years series, this piece captures the dignity and reflection of military veterans remembering their service.

This example is in mint condition with no chips, cracks, crazing, or restoration work. All original factory finish and paintwork remain intact with clear backstamp showing HN2484 marking and copyright date 1972.

The short 6-year production run makes this a scarcer piece. Chelsea Pensioners are retired British Army soldiers who reside at the Royal Hospital Chelsea in London, and their distinctive red coats make them iconic British figures. Military-themed figurines appeal to collectors of historical subjects and veterans' memorabilia.

Perfect for military collectors, Golden Years series enthusiasts, or those seeking poignant figurines with British heritage themes. Fully insured shipping across Canada with tracking.
