Original 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 early 20th century during the original period. He is a salami seller 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 nice 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 a bonus. 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, Augarten Austria in a red rectangle as well as the usual impressed marks including the model number 1011 as shown.
