Meissen porcelain Count Bruhls Tailor, c. 1860.

An exceptionally fine Meissen porcelain figure group, Count Bruhls Tailor, c. 1860. Magnificently modelled after the original by J.J. Kaendler, as the tailor astride a goat. He wears 18th Century costume, whilst the tools of his trade are ingeniously placed around himself, and the goat – his tailors scissors and iron hanging from the goats horns. His coat finely painted in Indianische Blumen, whilst the hems are intricately gilded. Amusingly, both the tailor and his shaggy coated goat wear spectacles.

Estimate:£14,500
