Damaged Hunter Riding Horse Figurine

This is a figure of a horse and rider made by Nymphenburg in the earlier 20th century - 1930 to be exact. So almost a true antique! This is a model from the hunting series originally designed by modeled by Carl Gottlieb Lück for Frankenthal in the 1760s. The 18th century pieces are amazing but also impossible to find. They come in three different colors - red, green and yellow as is the case with this figurine. The hunter here is nicely dressed in a typical outfit. He is sitting on his white horse. The horse is modeled with a tree stump under it to support the figure during the firing process and a typical base with gilded scrolls all around. The figurine is 7 inches tall, 2.75 inches wide and 5.25 inches long. Marked with the impressed shield mark underneath as well as the impressed numbers 1063 over 2 and the blue monogram CT for it being a Frankenthal model originally with the year mark 1930 under that. Sadly the piece has seen better days. It displays superbly from one side but the other shows a chip to the top of his boot, a missing right arm and a missing piece of the reigns. Still worth displaying and could be restored though it would not be an easy job. I do have another figure of this exact model that is in perfect condition if that is something you are looking for. Please email me for more information or other pictures.

Price is $99
