Our friendly sales couple honors us in the big XXL evening show with a proud bronze statuette. It depicts a scene that is meant to allude to the defeat of the French in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870 to 1871. The "imposing group of figures", as our expert Detlev calls it full of admiration, dates from the 1880s to the end of the 19th century. It consists of the winged goddess of victory Victoria and a wounded or even killed in battle warrior in her arms. As a sign of surrender, the warrior carries a broken saber. But an olive branch lies on the ground in this depiction and metaphorically represents the fact that peace is being "trampled underfoot". The title on the base of the statuette bestows glory on the vanquished for his honorable sacrifice. This impressive bronze once stood in our seller's children's room. Since she and her husband recently received the news that they are going to be grandparents, the proceeds from her will now go to a new children's room - that of their grandchild. Now the bids of our dealer team will decide between victory and defeat.
