Starlux vintage figurine old soldier, used retro painted statuette

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This figurine depicts a standing soldier, crafted in the characteristic style of vintage Starlux productions. The statuette has an upright posture, with one arm bent, holding what appears to be an accessory (likely a weapon or tool, though not with certainty). The figure is dressed in a complete jumpsuit or uniform, predominantly khaki beige, typical of old military figurines. Touches of burgundy or reddish-brown paint are visible on the belt and shoes, providing a subtle contrast to the overall appearance.

The face and hair are also painted, in flesh tones and brown, with summarily sketched features, indicative of old handmade or semi-artisanal manufacturing. The circular base ensures the figurine's stability and shows traces of green paint, likely to simulate terrain or a grassy base.

The figurine's surface reveals a significant patina, with visible wear throughout the body, mainly on the raised areas and most exposed parts. This wear is consistent with the object's age and previous use, enhancing its retro and authentic character.

The details of the molding, such as the folds of the uniform, buttons, and worn accessories, are stylized but clearly discernible. No legible markings appear on the visible face, but the aesthetic and color palette are typical of Starlux creations from the mid-20th century period.

The figurine is photographed on an old wooden piece of furniture, with a bookcase in the background, which highlights its decorative aspect and nostalgic dimension. No packaging or additional accessories are visible in the image.
