Connoisseur Saxony Porcelain Figurine of Saxon Knight on Horseback from Limited Edition of 15 (1987)

Our large English bone china figure of a knight on horseback, entitled Saxony, was designed by Richard Sefton for Connoisseur.  It is number 4 from a limited edition of 15 issued in 1987, and comes with a custom-built stained wooden pedestal with plexiglass cover.  The figurine is 24 inches tall and the stand measures 33 inches tall, 32 in wide and 18 in deep.

There are partial restorations to breaks to the three hooves where they meet the base, with some visible glue residue, and new chip losses around where the breaks were restored which have occurred since our client acquired the piece in the summer of 2022.  One stirrup was recently glued in place.  There are good quality restorations to breaks to the horse's spire.  

The acrylic cover has numerous scratches and a separation along one seam which has been repaired.  It will benefit from a cleaning and use of acrylic polish to remove the lightest of the scratches.  (We feel the piece is best displayed and enjoyed without the plexiglass.)  There are scratches and nicks to the pedestal.

We will negotiate the price for a sale in its current condition.  Or, our client has committed to funding the cost of restoration of the highest quality from a porcelain conservator with decades of experience.
