EARLY MEISSEN MUSICAL FAMILY GROUP FIGURINE 18TH CEN. THIS IS TRULY A MASTERPIECE FIGURINE FROM MEISSEN, I FEEL FROM THE LEVEL OF FINE DETAIL AND COLORATION IT IS MOST LIKELY A MID-19TH CENTURY PIECE,IN RESEARCHING THE MARKS THIS ONE MOST CLOSELY RESEMBLES THE CROSSED SWORDS MARK USED FROM 1825 - 1924. THERE ARE 5 FIGURES IF YOU COUNT THE FAMILY DOG AND MUSIC IS THE CENTRAL THEME, THE MATRON IS PLAYING A XYLOPHONE, THE FATHER A FLUTE AND INTERESTINGLY THE BOY IS A BAGPIPER, NOT SURE WHAT HIS BROTHER WAS DOING AS HE LOST ON ARM WHICH MAY HAVE HELD AN INSTRUMENT. THE FAITHFUL DOG WATCHES THE LITTLE BOY AROUND THE REAR, ALL OF THIS IS POSED UNDER AND ANCIENT STONE ARCH WITH GREENERY. NOW FOR THE DAMAGE, THE LADY'S STICKS ARE BOTH MISSING, THE FATHER'S HORN IS BROKEN ND HE IS MISSING FINGERS ON BOTH HANDS WITH EVIDENCE OF OLD REPAIRS, THE DOG'S TAIL IS MISSING THE LITTLE BOY IN THE REAR IS MISSING ONE ARM BELOW THE ELBOW AND THERE IS SOME MISCELLANEOUS CHIPS ON THE GREENERY. HAVING SAID ALL THAT THE DECORATION IS SUPERB, THE FLESH TONES ARE EXQUISITE AS ARE THE FACIAL FEATURES. THE SIZE IS 6 1/2" WIDE BY 8" HIGH, THE CONDITION IS AS DETAILED ABOVE AND SHOWN IN THE PHOTOS, FOR THE GREAT DETAIL I AM ACTUALLY AMAZED THIS PIECE HAS SURVIVED AS WELL AS IT HAS AND IT CERTAINLY WARRANTS THE EFFORT AND INVESTMENT TO HAVE IT PROFESSIONALLY RESTORED, read more
