Lot 437:
A Collection of Hand-Painted Metal Miniature Toy Soldiers, Napoleonic Wars Era
Description
A collection of approximately fifteen hand-painted miniature military figures, comprising soldiers, a horse figure, and a separate flag on a pole. The figures are depicted in period-specific uniforms, including shakos, bicornes, and sashes, strongly indicative of the late 18th to early 19th century, consistent with the Napoleonic Wars era and types such as Lucotte. Several figures wear red coats, while others are uniformed in blue, green, or white, suggesting a mix of armies. The material appears to be painted metal or lead alloy, with most figures affixed to flat, irregularly shaped bases, predominantly painted green. The horse stands on a grey, rock-like base. The small flag is a red, white, and blue tricolor with an indistinct crest. No clear or translatable text or manufacturer markings are discernible on any of the items.
