Perhaps the prettiest \'telegraph\' collectable - ever!Original Antique Victorian Spelter Figurine / Statue / Statuette
The Age Of Marconi, pre-Broadcast
LE TÉLÉGRAPHE
Dating from the latter part of the 19th Century or very early 20th Century,
this most attractive (likely French) figurine confidently promotes the TELEGRAPH,
the ground-breaking discovery largely (but not totally!) attributed to
GUGLIELMO MARCONI - one of the greatest ever technological inventions ever - IMPRESSIVE!Truly magnificent!
LIKELY OVER 100 YEARS OLDArt Nouveau?CONDITION REPORT
This spelter \'bronzed\' LE TÉLÉGRAPHE figurine presents very well, and is in exellent condition throughout, with no wear nor loss of any significance at all. Any wear or loss is miniscule. Unusually this appears to have no damage nor, crucially ANY repairs. The tips and leading edges on the figurine are all intact, and there is nothing missing at all. Being the medium-sized variation, both telephone parts are essentially fixed, and there were no \'extra\' wires etc included in the original construction. The \'Le Téléphone\' metal plate is as good as I have ever seen, whilst the turned wooden base has no splits, and it a near-perfect original finish. These figurines (as with the \'LE TÉLÉPHONE\' variation) were produced in three sizes, with subtle variations, perhaps due to the involvement of different manufacturers. Being the \'medium-sized\' variant, this example of LE TÉLÉGRAPHE measures 465mm / 18.3\" tall (max), and weighs 1206g (34oz).Guaranteed as genuine, a \'must-have\' wireless telephone collectable.
Indeed I have offered examples of all variations privately and on over the years, and find that most sell in the £125-£300 region, of course depending on the size and quality. I would suggest that this is the best example I have ever seen, let alone have in my possession...
