Description: A gorgeous and RARE early 20th century French porcelain figurine depicting a circus monkey riding a dog! This figurine is masterfully detailed, beautifully hand painted in tiny brushstrokes in an array of bright, bold colors. Quite a charming piece and subject matter, this figurine holds both a touch of whimsy and comical innocence! Just one of a set of four circus monkeys astride furry companions! Dressed in a bright red, blue and yellow marching band uniform, our monkey friend is ready to play with a gilded french horn slung across the shoulder and baton in hand! Clad in a brown collar, his furry hound dog (possibly a golden retriever?) companion stands at the ready in a playful stance with tail wagging and wearing a particularly whimsical expression with a large, red grin! Applied porcelain flowers and foliate adorn the base. Marked with a pair of crossed arrows between Porcelaine de Paris and Made in France for Bourdois & Bloch, founded in 1887 in Paris. The figurine is in very good condition. Piece measures 6 3/8" tall x 6 3/8" in length. More Wonderful Antiques Will Be Listed All This Week, So Check Out My Other Auctions For More Great Finds!!!
