A BEAUTIFUL PAIR OF VOLKSTEDT FIGURINES

VOLKSTEDT WAS ESTABLISHED BY GEORG HEINRICK

MACHELEID IN 1762 AND IS THE OLDEST OF THE DRESDEN

FACTORIES. THESE TWO FIGURINES ARE TYPICAL OF THE

MANY PIECES PRODUCED DURING THE MID TO LATE 1700's

THE HAYFORK BACKSTAMP IS OFTEN CONFUSED WITH

MEISSEN'S CROSSED SWORDS AND THE VARIATIONS OF THE

SAME.

THESE ARE GENUINE OLD VOLKSTEDT AND ALTHOUGH THEY

HAVE BOTH HAD MINOR PROFESSIONAL RESTORATION THEY

ARE VERY VALUABLE AND ARE A VERY A WORTH WHILE

INVESTMENT.
