AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This figurine depicts a soldier in military attire, identifiable by his khaki green uniform and brown boots. The object, viewed in profile, shows a soldier in dynamic motion, body leaning backward, right arm raised to face level, the other arm bent. A belt and a holster are visible at the waist, accentuating the realism of a scene typical of Starlux productions. The figurine features a hand-painted finish, characteristic of older models, with a matte appearance and shades of green, brown, and beige. No markings are visible on the face shown, but the posture and style correspond to the military range produced by Starlux in the 20th century.

The soldier's face, partially hidden by his arm, reveals a dark helmet. The sculpted details, such as the folds of the uniform and military accessories, attest to careful craftsmanship, typical of antique figurines in this category. The overall appearance evokes a retro piece, ideal for illustrating period military imagery. The figurine rests on a flat surface, with no apparent base on the observed side.

The paint shows slight signs of wear on certain exposed areas, particularly on the ends of the boots and arm, highlighting its authenticity as an antique object. However, the colors remain well preserved, with a marked contrast between the green uniform and brown accessories. No major chips or cracks are visible on the exposed part.

The style of the figurine, as well as the color palette, is typical of Starlux productions from the 1950s to the 1970s. The dynamic posture, detailed equipment, and hand-painted finishes are representative of the artisanal manufacturing of this period. This type of piece fits perfectly into the world of vintage and retro military figurines.
