Restoration of this private collection,
masterpiece of a "Maître-compagnon"
Under Louis the XIVth, a companion made a masterpiece with the true ability of a master sculptor.
This craftman created a set of miniatures, portraying several professions from the XVIIth century. Certainly not toy soldiers, but vivid scenes made of zinc, shaped by hand and lead-soldered.
Incredibly detailed, tinted with realism and humor, a great work of art!
