Vintage Starlux old cowboy figurine, hand-painted retro statue

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

This figurine depicts a cowboy in an action pose, pistol raised, typical of Starlux productions from the mid-20th century. The statuette shows a character wearing a wide-brimmed hat, a red scarf tied around his neck, a beige shirt, and dark brown pants with matching boots. The figure stands on a rectangular green base, whose slightly weathered appearance evokes old hand-painted models.

The details of the sculpture are sharp: one can distinguish the holster at the belt, the right hand holding a weapon, and the dynamic attitude of the left arm. The finish reveals deliberately uneven color shades, a signature of the early Starlux figurines. The dynamic, action-packed posture is characteristic of the cowboys from the brand's Far West series.

The character's face, though stylized, has a distinct profile under the hat, with an orientation turned to the right (from a frontal viewpoint). The paint shows visible signs of wear, particularly on the legs and base, indicating ancient use and vintage authenticity.

On the visible part of the figurine, no markings or inscriptions are discernible, which is common on Starlux models from this period. The overall appearance of the material suggests old plastic with a matte surface, common for Starlux productions from the 1950s-1970s, even if the exact material is not mentioned in the keywords.

The set offers a beautiful illustration of the retro style and typical colors of period toys, perfectly suited for display on a shelf or a Western-themed desk. This statuette is also suitable for vintage decoration or evoking the world of the Wild West.

Condition: Used item, sold as is. Shows visible signs of wear, patina, scuffs, and paint loss, especially on the base and legs. The figurine is stable and retains its original shape on the visible side.

Did you know? Starlux figurines were manufactured in France starting in 1945 and became famous for their wide variety of themes and the delicacy of their hand painting. The Far West series, produced from the 1950s, helped popularize the Western imagination in French and European children's rooms.
