Plate 1
Plate 2
Plate 3
Black plastic band removed , the area cleaned
and prepared for some treatment
The old restoration is outdated . The color turned yellow-brown..
The crack reappeared again ...
Plate 4
...I found both models on Numphenburg official website.
"Horseman trotting",The model was created in 1917 by Theodor Kärner..And "the Horsewoman",also by Kärner created in 1915.."Hunting series" .. You can find the images of the same but intact figures here ..
Those images show the original shapes of the the parts missing ..
Plate 5
Creating lines like these requires access to very flexible , reliable and long-lasting materials and certain miniature tools ... Achieving the effect of natural suspension in the air and full harmony with the rests of original porcelain remnants and the rest of the composition requires patience of a yogi and certain skills without which the success is impossible..
Moreover, after hardening these lines were polished, the joints leveled with another type of material with the remnants of the original stirrups to achieve full smoothness of the surface so that the full restored line could be passed over joints - freely and smoothly - by a tip of a needle without any interruptions .. All the way from the beginning to the end.
I had to create 4 such lines on both figures + one loop.. Each to be of the same physical dimensions ,but of different length. Positioning /curving was carried out individually in each case as seen on the photos...
Plate 6
Painting even small details with airbrush requires some precautions to be taken .. The rest of the item around the damaged area should be covered with protective masking tape to avoid the surfaces from overspray.. the reins should pe placed accurately and exactly ... In the areas were its not appropriate ,some other materials should be used to achieve the same protective effect..Just like on the image above , some areas around the the "loop" are covered with alternative protective material , seen in black,under the restored rein ..

The missing spur on the right boot of the horseman
is supposed to be just 4 mm long.. to match the intact one on the other side
After gluing small loose fragments
I placed the leg in correct position and found out that
there was a gap present -
a bit of porcelain between two broken parts of the leg was missing ..
The loop was really hard to create for its very delicate position between the hand of the man's body and the horse's neck ...There was very limited access to the area, but the delicately formed line was supposed to be attached ,shaped and polished with some tools..The new materials plasticity and compatibility with porcelain made the task a bit easier but not much..
The old restoration of the leg removed ..The leg was repaired incorrectly before.. According to the image on the Nymphenburg's website It's supposed to be suspended in the air, but someone either didn't know about it or simply decided to cheat a bit placing the hoof to the ground to get some stability support for the restored area..
The previous restorer also made a cut in the porcelain and inserted a piece of cut metal plate also to be used as a form of support for two parts to be linked together ...
If you have any porcelain figure precious to you
which needs attention of a restorer...Please contact me and I will try to do my best to meet your requirements
for reasonable payment..
This handmade curvy line is about 4 cm long ,
3mm wide and just about 1,5 mm thick...
