Pedestal w/ Decorative Scroll Elements Set #1

This is a n interesting set of pieces made during the Art Nouveau / Jugendstil period by KPM in Berlin , Germany. The main piece is a little pedestal / base for a small figurine. It is nicely modeled with lots of raised detail and gold trim. It's a triangular sort of shape and fits a small Weichmalerei figurine as I have shown in the example of the last photo - the figure is not included in this sale. The pedestal is nothing super special but what makes this set interesting are the three pieces of scroll work decorative elements that come with it. Likely made for a table display but if turned upside down could be made into a trim for a wall shelf as well. Each piece has some elaborate detail to it highlighted with gilding to match the pedestal perfectly. There is a cental piece and then one each for the right and left side as shown in my photo. I have never come across anything like it and it would look stunning set up on a table! A truly superb setup! All four peices are in perfect condition. The base is 1.875 inches tall and 2.125 inches wide at the bottom. The top is about 1.5 inches wide. The center scroll piece is about 5.25 inches wide 1.875 inches tall and 1.25 inches deep. Each side piece is about 4.75 inches wide, 2 inches tall and 1.25 inches deep. A very unusual combo that looks amaing! All are marked underneath with the blue scepter as well as the red orb mark and a gilder's mark and the usual impressed marks of the period as shown. Please email me for more information or other pictures.
