Description:
- This is a collection of 12 Pieces very difficult to obtain. The last three figures that have been added to the set are: Two silver ones, one of them is a miniature and the third is painted terracotta.
- The overall effect is very attractive and curious.
- Each Man is made by a different craftsman, being the two smaller ones of very good quality, although the interesting thing is the whole Collection.
- Man No. 1: Sailor smoking a pipe leaning against a lamppost. Very good artistic quality and execution. Great attention to detail. It could be silver, although it has not been analysed.
- Man No. 2: Drunk man clinging to a lamppost. Very good artistic quality and execution. Great attention to detail. Made of brass which could be gilded.
