David Copperfield Spelter Figurine - A cast metal figurine depicting the literary character David Copperfield, as conceived by Charles Dickens. The figure is portrayed in traditional Victorian costume, featuring a top hat and a long frock coat, with his left foot resting upon a stack of books. The sculpture is mounted on an integral base designed to resemble the covers and spine of a book, with the title David Copperfield incised in a decorative script on the front edge. The piece is manufactured from a metal alloy, likely spelter, which has been treated with a dark brown patinated bronze finish. Wear to the surface on high points reveals a lighter-coloured grey metal underneath. There are no visible artist signatures or foundry marks on the piece.
