Bing & Grøndahl figur American drummer 1. Maryland 1975

This Bing & Grøndahl figurine depicts an American drummer from 1. Maryland and is a striking collector's item with a historical motif. The figurine is made of white bisque porcelain, which gives the surface a soft, matte appearance and highlights the many fine details in the uniform, drum, and movement. The standing soldier is portrayed mid-step, with the drum in front of him and drumsticks in his hands, giving the figurine a vivid and narrative character.

The motif is connected to the American Revolutionary period, when drummers had an important role in the military and were used to assemble and direct the soldiers. Here, the figurine is designed as an adult man in historical uniform, with tall headgear, shoulder straps, drum, and sword. On the base appears the signature J. Bromley, and the figurine bears the inscription "American Drummer boy 1st. Maryland circa 1776. Design J. Bromley".

The figurine was released in 1975 on the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the independence of the United States and was produced in 750 copies. This makes it interesting for collectors of Bing & Grøndahl figurines, military figurines, and historical porcelain figurines. The white bisque porcelain body emphasizes the sculptural expression and makes the model suitable both as a display figurine in a collection and as a decorative feature in the home, where it adds character, history, and personality.

An older figurine like this also contains the joy of preserving good craftsmanship and giving classic design new life. Collector figurines in porcelain with history are a sustainable alternative to new production and can continue to create value and atmosphere in a modern home. Please note that the figurine was originally delivered with bisque sticks, but that it is today delivered with wooden sticks, as shown in the pictures.
