Italian Models - Napoleonic Period ?

[Mervyn Mitton]

I bought some months ago, these attractive models of Italian Regiments. I would think they are from the Napoleonic period

and each represents a different type of Regiment. From left : Dragoon , Grenadier , Infantry , Hussar.

Each one is 12 inches high (30cm) and appears to be made of a plaster - they are mounted on blocks of Italian marble.

They make a fine display and are in good condition. I will be interested to see if the model experts agree with my

description ? If you have any idea of when they were made - or, of value the info. will be appreciated. Mervyn

You know after the Bruni post I was a little disappointed to find these.

cool though.

Actually, I like these figures a lot. I have two similar Goebbel porcelain figures - Napoleonic artillery and a US artillery captain.

The subjects aren't Italian - you have left to right (IMO) an Empress Dragoon of the Guard, a Guard Grenadier, a young guard or line Voltiguer, and a Chasseur a Cheval of the Guard.

Thankyou Colin - that certainly makes a difference. A case of jumping to conclusions because of the Italian label.

I only come occasionally to this forum to admire the models - Ulsterman has referred to a post by Bruni - I can't find

this - what was the association ? Mervyn

The Italian Bruni sisters....in bikinis...Something witty that I think Chris posted. I read it just before your topic came up and had a rather different image in mind....Italian models, Sarkozy era....
