Things are beautiful if you love them



I bought them some time ago in very bad shape from a German seller who had no idea about their origins or value. I think that I was lucky to get both of them together. Quality in miniature, the models are about 11, 5 cm high on rectangular bases 3, 5 cm across...  Both Marked with odd sign on the back of the base. The markings indicate that they were manufactured in short period between 1909 and 1912 by Richard Eckert, according to some literature sources.



Painting quality is excellent, with much detailed sculpture in spite  of  very  small dimensions .Both figures  have many fragile parts ,some of which became lost. The  child  wearing  trousers has lost the feathers on his  turban looking hat, the other , with a golden pot got his head broken off and  had lost his thumb on the left  hand. The missing thumb  was  about 4 mm long and 2,5 mm at its  widest.

Restoring miniature parts like these  is a process that requires certain  tools, some skill and  patience and  of a yogi. I had no idea how the broken feathers originally  looked like .I improvised a bit and now they look like that. I made  just two .. The whole project was carried out without airbrush, I used  ordinary painter's brushes to apply the colored paints  on the surfaces.



The scar on the neck is vaguely visible  ,but only if to look at the head from the closest possible distance (5-10cm).Not bad at all , considering the fact that there was no airbrushing  involved.


Many   collectors  disregard such  or similar figures just because they are marked in "wrong way" and there is  nothing which would connect them to the Meissen manufacture or to any other well known  brand - but these boys show the quality that surpass  many models with  the famous  crossed swords on their bases...And  most probably  this pair is very rare .Personaly,i never saw   them  for  sale  anywere   again .




... A  pair of  captivating  children, in  the age of 7 or 8 , on their way to the spring .That the two children are odd characters is indisputable; that the composition they make  is eccentric is debatable;it will be pleasing and unusual to most. Even the closest scrutiny will not resolve  for sure whether it is a boy an a girl ,or two boys that  make this perfect pair.. I presume they are boys though..
