Gandhi Maquette Auction: Rare Sculpture Up for Sale
Update: 2025-12-05
Description
A rare bronze maquette of Mahatma Gandhi, the earliest known model of the iconic London statue, is set to auction for a significant sum. Crafted by Polish sculptor Fredda Brilliant, this 27-centimeter tall sculpture could exceed its estimated value of £6,000 - £8,000. Brilliants growing reputation, evidenced by a previous Gandhi model selling for £65,000, suggests strong collector interest. The auction, scheduled for Thursday, is anticipated to spark a bidding war. Meanwhile, the actual Gandhi statue in Tavistock Square was vandalized in September, prompting strong condemnation from the Indian government.
