Hunter on Horse w/ Hunting Horn Figurine Figurine

This is a figure of a huntsman riding his horse with a hunting horn slung over his shoulder. The figure was 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 that is supported with a tree stump under it for the firing process and a typical base with gilded scrolls all around. The figurine is 6.375 inches tall, 3.25 inches wide and 5 inches long. Marked with the impressed shield mark underneath as well as the impressed numbers 1067 over 2 and the blue monogram CT for it being a Frankenthal model originally with the year mark 1930 under that. The figurine is in great condition with the green oak leaves decorating the front of his hat missing. They were restored at some point but broke off again. Displays perfectly as is or could be an easy fix for a restorer. A little black paint would hide the spot perfectly as the yellow bow looks great without anything else.

Price is $499
