Grenadier Guard of Hanover, Borch Regiment, Minden 1759

WME 2025 Grenadier Guard of Hanover, Borch Regiment, Minden 1759 | Grenadier Guard 75mm Historical Miniature

Balanced, alert, and composed under pressure, this British artilleryman embodies the discipline and poise of 18th-century warfare. The grenadier guard 75mm historical miniature depicts a soldier of the Borch Regiment during the Battle of Minden in 1759—an event where coordination, precision, and resolve defined the field.

The sculpt shows the soldier at rest but attentive, seated on a wicker gabion, musket and ramrod in hand, his uniform richly detailed with the red and gold livery of Hanoverian forces. The pose captures that critical in-between moment: readiness before action. It reflects the measured energy and preparedness that distinguished artillery regiments of the British line.

Every stitch and braid has been rendered with historic fidelity. The turned-up cuffs, the sash and leather straps, and the tri-cornered hat tucked under one arm form a portrait of military elegance. The base evokes the terrain of a battlefield post, grounded in earth and regulation.

This piece belongs to the Nello Rivieccio Collection, honouring the late master sculptor’s dedication to historical realism and emotional subtlety. His hand brings the figure to life with anatomical clarity and compositional grace, turning a scene of quiet readiness into a story of professional honor.

This model debuts as a WME 2025 exclusive early release, available first during the event.
