Description

A group of glazed porcelain figurines, comprising a female figure and French military figures representing the Napoleonic era. The lady figurine is depicted in a tiered pink and peach crinoline-style dress with a wide-brimmed hat, holding a basket of flowers. The military figurines stand on rectangular white plinths, each inscribed with their rank and unit in black lettering: Soldat d’ Infanterie, Officier des Hussards, and Marechal de l’Empire. The soldiers are rendered in traditional uniform colours, including a green infantry coat, an orange hussar dolman, and a dark marshal’s tunic with a bicorn hat. While these items are similar in style to mid-20th-century productions from European factories such as Capo di Monte or various French and Belgian manufacturers, no maker marks are visible. Hand-painted decorative details and gilding are present throughout.
