This is a superb and original 19th century spelter figure. One of two similar listed. It was part of a large house clearance w the owner was a collector of bronzes and similar items from the 18th, 19th and later centuries. This included various bronzes & spelters of art nouveau and art deco figures, militarian figures, animals and other similar related figurines. With lots of negotiations we were able to secure many of the bronzes and related items. This is a superb spelter figure of which, during our research we have been informed is certainly from the 19th century. Signed to the base Debut which relates to Didier Debut. A French artist and sculptor. c1824-1893. Wonderful portrayal and overall detailing of the figure. Portrayed carrying a pair of jugs strapped to the waist strap. Has an overall height of about 12.5inches. Mounted onto a decorative spelter base with an overall size of about 4.5 x 3.75inches. Red coloured hat & shoes. Condition: Considering the age, the overall condition is excellent with no blemishes except the loss of something from his left hand. Possibly a stick which would have rested onto the base. Has also a hole to the rear of the hat w something may have been inserted. Besides being a very collectable and original 19th century Didier Debut spelter of the male figure, would also look fabulous displayed.
