I believe this item is from around the 19th century. While I occasionally see items from the 20th century that have a rough and dirty appearance, pieces from this era are rarely seen these days. There are some missing parts, such as on the arms, and the paint is flaking, but it has a beautiful appearance that comes with age. It can stand on its own, but it might fall over with vibrations. It seems it was originally attached to some kind of base, so you might want to prepare one yourself. Height: Approximately 28.7cm The condition is listed as generally poor, but the material is solid. It's not the kind that's soft or crumbling. The size is approximate. The actual item may differ slightly in color from the images. As it is an old item, there are age-related scratches, marks, and minor chips.
