The Village Peddler, 1790–1820

Model: 35058
Scale: 1/30
Finish: Matte

This finely detailed 1/30 scale civilian figure portrays a traveling Village Peddler offering his wares to townsfolk during the late 18th to early 19th century. Balancing a trade board and stand filled with small goods, the peddler represents the itinerant merchants who brought everyday necessities to rural communities and frontier settlements.

Dressed in period civilian attire—including waistcoat, cravat, frock coat, and top hat—the figure captures the entrepreneurial spirit of early marketplace commerce. His display features an assortment of household items and trinkets, reflecting the diverse merchandise such traders carried while journeying from village to village.

Finished in realistic matte tones with finely sculpted accessories, signage, and costume detail, this piece adds charm and narrative depth to town squares, encampments, and civilian street scenes spanning the Revolutionary War through the Napoleonic era. An ideal companion to military figures when building fully realized historical dioramas.
