Dutch Delft model of a seated cow, cold colour dec, 18th century

Sold

Rare Dutch Delft model of a cow, shown seated with traces of original cold-colour decoration of garlands of flowers, her horns gilt.

18th century

horns restored, losses to colour

A rare original Delft cow model retaining much of the ‘cold-colour’ oil paints used originally to brighten up these delightful pieces. Over the years these have inevitably been lost – often through cleaning, as they only sit on the surface & can be easily chipped off.
