Royal Doulton Pecksniff Figurine

Pristine figurine by Royal Doulton of Seth Pecksniff, a character with a holier-than-thou attitude in Charles Dickens's 1844 novel Martin Chuzzlewit. Pecksniff was no angel, though he certainly tried to pass himself off as one. He liked to preach morality and brag about his own virtue, but in reality he was a deceptive rascal who would use any means to advance his own selfish interests. "Pecksniffian" has been used as a synonym of "hypocritical" since 1849. This collectable piece is in excellent condition and would be perfect for the book lover or Dickens fan! Additional figurines available are David Copperfield and Bill Sikes, pictured in listing.
