Description:
Rare Royal Doulton "Omar Khayyam" Character Figurine #2247

Hello and thank you for your interest in this amazing Royal Doulton 1Omar Khayyam figurine. This item is currently discontinued/retired and an extremely difficult find since this item was retired by Royal Doulton almost 25 years ago. This item's collectible value is unparalleled and will only continue to rise in value as quantities become more and more limited. All this without even mentioning how beautiful this piece is and how it serves as an excellent display piece that you'll enjoy admiring day in and day out. This is truly a wonderful work of art!
This item is a testament to a long history of Royal Doulton quality craftsmanship. This Omar Khayyam figurine represents the knowledge, modesty, and brilliance one can achieve living this sort of life, as represented by the life of poet, astronomer and mathematician Omar Khayyam. It is an inspirational piece dedicated to one of the great minds in history. This is truly a gorgeous figurine. Featuring Omar Khayyam seated on the floor with a book in hand, pondering its contents, while enjoying a jar of water to nourish himself, this figurine is phenomenal in its details and excellent craftsmanship. From his wise, sagely face, flawlessly representing modern interpretations of this great figure, to his gorgeous traditional Persian garb, this figure depicts some of the finest work in porcelain. In his lifetime, Omar Khayyam accomplished everything from discovering advanced mathematical solutions to mapping the stars in the sky. He achieved this while maintaining an ideal of humility - when he was asked to share in his friend's wealth, he asked only for a place to live, study and pray. With just this a great man achieved and ascended to great heights - a truly inspirational story that is represented beautifully in this figurine. This is a fantastic, enjoyable figurine that would be perfect for anyone who appreciates the ideals of this great man within a masterful porcelain work of art.
Royal Doulton has an esteemed history of almost 200 years in making beautiful porcelain pottery.
