Item Details
Description
Royal Worcester porcelain model statue of champion thoroughbred racing horse Nijinsky (registered in the US as Nijinsky II). Base is approximately 10" x 4". Base + horse measures 10.5" tall. No signs of chips or cracks. Framed COA from Royal Worcester notes that this is #119 / 500 copies. Nijinsky was born in Canada, trained in Ireland, and in 1970 became the (to date) last horse to win the English Triple Crown, and the only one to win the trio since 1935. Not surprisingly, she became a sweetheart of one of England's biggest horse racing fans - Queen Elizabeth II. Nijinsky was sent to stud at Claiborne Farms (registered as Nijinsky II) in Kentucky where a couple dozen of his progeny went on to be victorious race horses including Ferdinand who won the 1986 Kentucky Derby and 1987 Horse of the Year. When Nijinsky was euthanized in 1992, he was buried two graves over from a US Triple Crown winner, the immortal Secretariat.
Condition
Some very minor scuffs. No cracks, chips, repairs or significant scratches were observed.
