An antique decorative figure depicting a young boy standing atop a fluted classical pedestal. Cast in spelter and finished in a warm gilt surface, this piece reflects late 19th to early 20th century European decorative design, likely French or German in origin. Unmarked.
The figure features soft facial modeling, period clothing, and a slender rod held in both hands. The integral pedestal base is classically inspired, with fluting and ornamental detailing typical of the period.
The piece is unmarked, as is common for decorative spelter figures of this era.
Wear to the gilt finish with areas of loss revealing the underlying metal, consistent with age and original surface. There are hairline cracks at the backs of both ankles near the Achilles area; these do not extend through the metal and do not affect the structural stability of the figure. No breaks, losses, or repairs observed.
