Salami Merchant Figurine

This is a figurine of a gentleman street vendor based on the original Cris de Paris series from the 18th century made by Augarten in the mid 20th century. He is a salami seller (I didn't get that until I looked him up) and is holding a basket on his left arm filled with salamis. Nicely dressed and leaning against a tree stump on a typical Vienna base with some gilding on the edge. A very well modeled figure with lots of superb hand painted detail all around. The figure is in perfect condition which is always nice. He is 7.75 inches tall, 3 inches wide and 3.125 inches deep. Marked underneath with the blue shield with the crown on top as well as the word Wien underneath, Made in Austria impressed, the usual impressed marks including the model number 1011 and a black painter's number 32 in blue as shown.
