Large White Figurine

This is a large figurine of a blacksmith with a putto holding a heart and a cherub behind her mady by Fuerstenberg in the 18th century. A nice figurine with lots of detail. The blacksmith is hammering an arrow on his anvil, he has the fire behind him and the other two figures in front of him. The base has some nice scroll work on it typical of this period. The figure is 7.5 inches tall, 5.75 inches wide and 4.75 inches deep. It is marked underneath with the blue script F mark and an incised number 110. The piece is in superb display condition but there has been a good restoration done to it which is hard to figure out since a lot of the piece was oversprayed with a clear glaze to cover any evidence up completely. From what I can figure out the tip of the arrow on the anvil is missing as is part of that tool right there. The putto's right arm was broken and cleanly reattached, the cherubs left wing has been worked on, the hammer in his hand and two chips to the base. This is mostly guesswork since it is very well done. Please email me for more information or photos.

Price is $999
