Bisque Victorian Lady Handle Topper for Clothes Brush Made in Germany

A beautiful bisque figurine of a lovely lady! Except she is missing the original horse hair brush she crowned. Her hand-painted features are still vibrant and beautifully intact. There are a few tiny flecks on her, which may have come with use. The lady figure originally was the top of a whisk brush, which would have been used for road dust, lint, crumbs, or by barbers to remove hair from clients' clothing. Designing these brushes with bisque or porcelain figures was popular in the mid to late 1800s continuing well into the early 1900s. The figure has an impressed mark with the word “Germany” on the back of her waist and below that the number 55'57. She would be a great addition to a collection of brush toppers.

Measures 3" tall, and 1.25" wide.
