Antique Victorian Heavy Bronze Chinese Man w/Umbrella Hat Pin Holder

Description

Lovely bronze chinese figure holding umbrella which holds hat pins.  This has lots of patina and dust which I have not tried to clean at all.  It is a fabulous little piece.  Lots of detail and character. He has a wonderful "attitude" about him.  The years of patina is amazing. Natural wear of bronze shows gorgeous color throughout. Particularly his moustache.  This came from my neighbor who was 96.  It's a special little piece.  Someone will be happy!  about 5" tall  Base 21/4" diameter  Umbrella 2 1/2" across
Many of the items I sell are antique/vintage and are sold as is. Please keep in mind that antiques, vintage and previously owned items may show signs of visible wear, discoloration, embedded dust or patina (the good stuff) that is considered normal and part of it's appeal and charm.  Most of the items are from estates.  I do not know what life items had before or who owned or used them before I acquired them.  Due to the age and era of many items, they most certainly have potential to be from a home that smoked.  I will not sell something that knowingly smells of smoke.  Sometimes I do know a wonderful story about a piece and I will share that in my listing.
Customer Satisfaction is extremely important to me. If you receive an item and are not satisfied in any way, please contact me BEFORE leaving feedback. We CAN work together for a happy resolution.
