<p>[QUOTE="Barbara W. Preston, post: 4306939, member: 13943"]Well, I will try to post this again. I recently redid a spelter figurine of Cinq-Mars after finding a figurine just like ours listed by Lyons and Turnbull Auctioneers, October 13, 2016, Lot 32 (Pair of spelter figures with the names Cinq-Mars and DeThou). The bows, lace collar, ruffles, plumes on the hat, and the buckles on the shoes were quite similar to those on this porcelain figurine.</p><p>Also, we have two porcelains with the tree trunk looking area on the back. One of our local antique dealer told us that they were "Scenters." Perfume was put inside the hollowed trunk and had a stopper or cap. When the room had obnoxious odors, the caps were remove so that the obnoxious odors would soon be gone.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
