Detailed Item Description
Elegant Vintage Hand-Painted Porcelain Military Figure
A stunning and highly detailed porcelain figurine crafted in the esteemed Dresden style of German porcelain artistry. This piece depicts a celebrated figure from European history, Marshal François Christophe de Kellermann (1735–1820), Duke of Valmy, known for his critical command during the French Revolutionary Wars.
Design & Detail:
Historical Subject: The figure is named "Kellermann" (inscribed on the back of the coat) and is richly adorned in a military uniform reflecting the late 18th/early 19th-century aesthetic.
Color Palette: The figure features a vibrant blue coat accented with extensive gold gilt detailing, a deep red sash, and a white and gold striped cummerbund.
Craftsmanship: The piece is indicative of high-quality early 20th-century German manufacturing, with delicate features, intricate goldwork, and fine hand-painting.
Marking: The base bears an underglaze Dresden-style decorator mark (a crowned cursive 'L' over the word "Dresden"), which is common for studios in the Saxony region producing historical series.
Condition & Provenance:
Condition: Excellent Vintage Condition. All delicate protruding elements—the sword hilt, plumed hat, and scroll/telescope—remain perfectly intact, which is a highly desirable attribute for figures of this age. Minor wear consistent with age and display.
Style: Perfect for collectors of fine European porcelain, military history, or those seeking a unique decorative accent for a classical, traditional, or transitional interior.
