Description
Impressive 30.5" overall height, swing arm alone is 25" high. The male statue is standing in a small ship, with an anchor, baled goods, chains, and a sea serpent as the bow of the ship. Plaque on the base titled: "La Navigation". The bottom ring is bronze, base is wood, statue is bronzed spelter. There has been restoration to the statue. I notice repairs to a leg and an arm, well done and very common in these old spelter statues. Some restorers can put an arm back on and you can never tell it. The ball swinger is in excellent condition. It is just too nice not to have been refinished in this deep blue color. I hung the arm on the statue, wound the spring, and it took off running.
