This figure of Peter Pan is based on the 1912 bronze sculpture of J. M. Barrie's character by Sir George Frampton (1860-1928). The original statue was commissioned by Barrie and is situated in Kensington Gardens, London, near Barrie's former home on the Bayswater Road. Six other casts made by Frampton have been erected in other locations including Canada, Australia, Belgium, the USA and another in the UK at Sefton Park, Liverpool. Frampton made a series of small bronze reproductions of the Peter Pan figure from 1913 to his death in 1928, a few of which have appeared at auction including at Bonhams Knightsbridge rooms, Decorative Arts and Contemporary Ceramics, 20 June 2018, lot 10.
