Description
THis statuetee of beautiful. Near mint condition except the hand is broken off but I do have the hand. Can't find this anywhere on the internet. It must be rare. Please help. I feel this is something that is a very rare find. I'm thinking it could be from Chantilly back between 1725 to 1789. I wish......

Re: CHANTILLY STATUETTE
This is not a genuine example of Chantilly porcelain. Chantilly pieces were marked with a Hunting horn symbol, first in red and later in blue. The pieces themselves would have no gold decoration, as this was against the Royal decree ( The French Royal Family controlled the monopoly through the Sevres porcelain works). Based on what I can see it's unlike this piece predates 1890, and of a type often used as lamp bases. I'll see what I can dig up for you.
