The figures measure 14.5 cm in height. Each represents a bearded dignitary wearing a flat Court hat and loose robes, his hands clasped together beneath his ample abdomen, whilst he sits in a low-backed chair. The figures are cast in a two part mould and covered in a creamy glaze. The 1688 Burghley Inventory records: “Two figures sitting in Chaires” amongst “China and other things over the Chimney in the Dineing Roome”.
