About the Item

A Porcelain European Jewish fur trader figurine from the late 19th century is a culturally significant artifact, reflecting the artistic and social representations of Jewish life during that period. In the late 19th century, Jewish communities in Europe were diverse and engaged in various trades and professions. Fur trading was a notable occupation among Jewish merchants in Eastern and Central Europe, contributing to the economic life and cultural diversity of urban centers. This figurine of a Jewish fur trader captures the distinctive cultural and occupational attributes through the nuances of clothing, facial expressions, and gestures. Colorfully painted and crafted with meticulous detail and skill, the figurine depicts a Jewish peddler in traditional attire with fox fur draped over his arm while the other arm waves to passersby. Collectible Value: Antique porcelain figurines from the late 19th century, especially those depicting specific ethnic or occupational identities like a Jewish fur trader, are highly collectible. They are valued for their craftsmanship, historical context, and portrayal of cultural diversity within European society. The Maker mark; the letter 'N' with a crown is painted in blue at the bottom.
