Vintage Starlux antique military figurine – retro red beret army soldier

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Detailed visual description

This antique military figurine, from the Starlux brand (according to the keywords provided), depicts a standing soldier dressed in an olive green uniform with a distinctive red beret. The statuette has an upright posture, legs slightly apart, one hand on its hip and the other holding what appears to be a lamp or a grenade. The face is soberly painted, with minimalist but evocative details of the retro style specific to Starlux production, typical of the mid to late 20th century.

The figurine rests on a flat, irregularly shaped base, matching the hue of the uniform. The matte finish highlights the folds of the clothing and the soldier's brown boots. The red beret adds a touch of bright color, contrasting with the military tones of the rest of the piece. No markings or inscriptions are visible on the photographed side.

The statuette is distinguished by sculpted details on the pockets, belt, and collar of the uniform, testifying to the craftsmanship of Starlux figurines. The slightly shiny appearance in some areas suggests a painted or lacquered surface. The expression on the face, although stylized, evokes the martial character and sobriety of vintage lead or plastic soldiers.

In the photo, only the front of the figurine is visible; it is not possible to describe the back or underside, in accordance with the instructions. No removable accessories or detachable parts appear in this view.

Condition

Second-hand item, sold as is. Some signs of wear are visible on the paint, particularly on the beret and boots, but the whole remains in good visual condition for an antique piece.

Did you know? Starlux figurines, manufactured in France since the 1940s, are renowned for the diversity of their military, historical, and animal series. Soldiers with red berets often refer to airborne or paratrooper troops, a popular theme in 20th-century European military imagination.
