Vintage Starlux figurine retro boy old statuette decor

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This vintage figurine depicts a young boy standing, arms slightly bent, wearing a blue-green top and yellow trousers, with black boots, and positioned on a green oval base. The style of the statuette, with its simple lines and matte colours, evokes the Starlux productions of the mid-20th century, known for their dynamic character figurines. The finish features hand-painted details, particularly visible on the short brown hair, face, and clothing. The overall appearance shows an age-related patina, giving the piece a retro charm.

The oval base ensures good stability for the figurine. The arms and legs are moulded in one piece with the body, typical of old Starlux models. No inscription is visible on the side shown in the photo. The face displays naive features and a direct gaze, in the spirit of collectible figurines from the 50s to the 70s. The blue of the top is enhanced with touches of paint for the buttons, while the yellow trousers contrast with the dark boots. The surface of the statuette shows small traces of wear and some paint loss, indicating its age.

The figurine is photographed from the front, placed on a wooden table in an old-fashioned room, surrounded by bookshelves filled with bound books. This staging highlights the decorative and retro aspect of the object. Natural light emphasizes the volumes and slightly grainy texture of the statuette. No accessories or removable elements are visible on this side.
