Hello,

I have a very heavily gilded figurine of a biscuitporcelain angel leaning on a gilded and white glazed barrel on a wheelbarrel with two small cups under the barrel to take up the wine or liquid which would come from the barrel.

The front of the base reads ' qui que te sois voici ton maitre il l'est le fuit ou le doit etre '

The base is mounted on small gilded feet

its got the gold medal 1820 mark improved feltspar etc on the bottom

Its got damage to various sides of the piece.

one arm of the barrel has broken off.

the wings have broken from the angel

the wheel has been glued back

the barrel stopper has been broken off

wheelbarrel one side broken off

I suspect a pot or other ornament next to the wheel of the wheel barrel has broken off as well as there is still a gilded stub left.

I would very much like your expert advice as to its origin, background, value and other info as i'm wanting to sell it but cannot do so without the proper information.

Many thanks for your help in advance.

Kind Regards,

dexteroflondon
