Dating back to the mid-18th century, this exquisite Meissen figure group captures The Tyrolean Dancers in all their splendor. Crafted circa 1740, the piece features two intricately modelled figures with linked arms, swirling in a graceful dance.
The male figure is adorned with a striking yellow hat embellished with a red rosette, a blue jacket, red breeches detailed with a red rosette, and yellow shoes complemented by a green rosette. Meanwhile, his female counterpart wears a white blouse accented with red ribbons, a yellow and red bodice, a white apron over a puce skirt, and yellow shoes adorned with green rosettes. Her hair is elegantly styled into two plaits fastened with a red ribbon.
The figure group is elegantly presented on a shaped mound base, enhanced by a scrolling gilt metal mount. The base bears the distinctive blue crossed swords mark, a hallmark of Meissen porcelain craftsmanship.
This charming piece stands at an impressive height of 19cm, making it a delightful addition to any collection. Don't miss the opportunity to acquire this rare and timeless treasure at Duggleby Auctioneers.
