Old CBG Mignot elephant figurine carrying the Le Jardin d'acclimatation diorama

Old CBG Mignot elephant carrying figurine from the Le Jardin d'acclimatation diorama.

The figurine is certainly hollow lead.

The figurine completes the fabulous diorama Le Jardin d'acclimation created by CBG Mignot around the year 1905.

The figurine is in good condition.

There are some minor chips to the painting of the elephant, see photos.

There is a lack of paint on the base revealing rust oxidation.

The porter chair is made of aluminum and it has deformations. One of the barriers is down and I preferred not to raise it because I fear it would break. If you straighten it, it is very possible that the part will break and have to be glued back together later. I invite you to look at the photos, this defect is circled in blue.

Length: approximately 10.5 cm

Width: approximately 3.4 cm.

Height: approximately 4.8 cm.

Weight: approximately 160 grams.

Used item.

This figurine has a lifespan of over 110 years and is by no means in new condition. It must therefore be taken into account that despite a rigorous selection and description in order to present a quality set, it may contain minimal defects caused by the passage of time in addition to those indicated in the description. To have an impeccable condition, I invite you to turn to new or more modern objects.
