Cute Figurine on Pedestal

This is a figurine of young lady standing on a pedestal made by Meissen in about 1750. She is nicely modeled and handpainted with the skirt having a superb puce scale design to it that is amazing to look at. The pedestal has some vines going around it with leaves and flwoers as well as a gold trim. The figurine displays nicely but she has had damage restored - I believe she had wings ones as the back of her shirt was painted over, the part of the pedestal she is standing on has been repainted completely as she was off that at some point so her one leg was damaged as well (it appears the other one broke off under the shoe so it is fine), the rbown tree stump was worked on as were some of the vines on the pedestal. One finger might have been worked on but I am unsure. Like I said she displays nicely but it is what it is. The pedestal is marked underneath with the crossed swords mark as shown and I am fairly sure the thin base she is standing on had one as well but it is totally overpainted so it will remain hidden :) The figure is 5.5 inches tall and the base has a diameter if 2.125 inches. Please email me for more information or other pictures.

Price is $599
