Charming early 20th-century French desk figure of a street vendor or newsboy, titled LE COLPORTEUR on the plinth. Cast in spelter with a deep black patina and mounted on a turned ebonised base, he calls out with satchel in hand—pure Parisian street-life energy. The base edge bears a cast MADE IN FRANCE mark, and the underside shows the original fixing nut. A characterful accent for a library, mantel, or “old money” study, and perfect for dark-academia shelving and cabinet-of-curiosities displays.
Condition is good and decorative with age-consistent wear: scattered patina speckling and rubbing to high points, a couple of tiny nicks to the figure and light edge wear to the base. Structurally sound and displays beautifully.
