Leadbetter was an independent artisan based in Cornwall, known for sculpting wildlife and countryside-themed pieces during the late 1970s and early 1980s. Their work is usually signed and dated, with a signature rustic texture and charm reflective of English natural settings. These pieces are now sought after for their vintage appeal and folk art authenticity.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;","brand":"M.
