Here is a latenineteenth-century version of an eighteenth-century Derby figure. He representsmatrimony or marriage, and would have been paired with a woman who was holdinga bird cage. He has numerous breaks to the flowers, but the branches are allthere. Somebody who is handy with paints could color the remaining stumps andbring some of the bygone luster back to this fellow. The white holder on hisleft originally supported a candle nozzle. It could be removed or perhapspainted green so it\'s less noticeable, or you could add a spare brass nozzlefrom . There are some firing cracks that are original. Also chips to theleaves, as usual. The figure of the man himself is missing the flowers he heldin his right hand but is otherwise in good condition. He is impressive in size,at eight and three-quarters inches tall. Some matching paint to the edges hereand there would do wonders for him. Ref F496
