A wonderfully nostalgic vintage figurine titled “Farewell” from The Leonardo Collection, depicting a touching countryside departure scene between two young travelling children 💛
This charming hand-painted resin sculpture perfectly captures the sentimental European-inspired styling that made Leonardo figurines so popular throughout the late 20th century. Rich with soft expression and storybook warmth, the scene evokes classic Victorian and rustic countryside imagery.
The young boy stands proudly in a long travelling coat and cap while carrying his tied belongings over one shoulder, accompanied by a little girl dressed in traditional rustic clothing and clutching her own travel bundle. Their upward gazes and gentle smiles create a lovely sense of optimism and companionship.
Mounted on a polished oval wooden plinth with a brass-style title plaque reading:
“Farewell by Leonardo”
the piece displays beautifully as a standalone ornament or alongside similar romantic countryside figurines.
The muted cream, brown, and soft terracotta tones give the sculpture a warm antique appearance that suits cottagecore, shabby chic, and traditional decorative interiors wonderfully.
The Leonardo Collection was produced and distributed by Lesser & Pavey, a respected British importer and giftware company established in the 1970s. The brand became hugely popular for decorative figurines, sentimental ornaments, and elegant home décor inspired by classical European sculpture styles.
Many Leonardo figurines from this era drew artistic inspiration from the romantic realism of Italian sculptors such as Giuseppe Armani and the Florence studios, whose expressive countryside and childhood scenes became internationally admired.
The underside carries a simple “FOREIGN” import stamp. This was commonly used on decorative imports entering the UK during the late 20th century to satisfy country-of-origin trade regulations without specifying an exact manufacturing nation.
During the 1980s and 1990s, sentimental figurines like these became hugely fashionable gifts for weddings, anniversaries, and family occasions. Many households displayed them proudly in glass cabinets beside porcelain, crystal, and family photographs — the true natural habitat of every respectable Leonardo figurine 😄
