The quality suggest this one was made by the paris company stockman but i cant find a name anywhere on it. The wooden stand has evidence of woodworm but i have personally treated it twice to make sure none of the little blighters are still in there.
The stand is strong and has no signs of cracks nor any movement. The central pole that runs through the body has been replaced although this part isnt visible. Fantastic shop display or purely as a stand alone decorative antique. More photos available on demand. Full height from top to bottom is 147cm (58). Weight less than 5 kilos. This item is made of wood and papier mache.
