Dressage Event ~ Antique German Metal Flats

An outstanding group of German metal flats depicting a scene rarely seen ~ a dressage event.   Every piece is in gorgeous condition. Entirely hand painted, down to the tiniest detail on each tiny piece. Both backs and front are painted accordingly.  The back of a viewer shows the back of his or her clothing, while the front shows the front of the ensemble. Facial features all are there, too.  The artist skimped on nothing.  All in beautiful condition.  A very interesting provenance, too, available upon request. Set includes:

5 rows of spectators: 4 1/4"W X 1 3/8"T

Grandstand with special guests 3 1/16"T X 2 3/4"W
