{"product_id":"franklin-mint-egyptian-bronze-cat-1988-curio-cabinet-cats-figurine","title":"Franklin Mint Egyptian Bronze Cat 1988 | Curio Cabinet Cats Figurine","description":"A beautiful vintage Franklin Mint Egyptian Cat, from the collectible Curio Cabinet Cats Collection, dating to 1988.\n\nInspired by the elegant feline sculptures of Ancient Egypt, this wonderfully stylised miniature cat is seated upright with elongated legs, pointed ears and a beautifully poised, statuesque form.\n\nThe cat is made from solid bronze, something confirmed by Franklin Mint's original advertising for the collection, which specifically described the Egyptian design as solid bronze.\n\nIts rich dark bronze finish is complemented beautifully by turquoise-green detailing highlighting the ears, elaborate collar and Egyptian-inspired motif upon the chest.\n\nThe combination gives the piece the appearance of an ancient bronze sculpture with areas of verdigris patination and makes it one of the most distinctive designs in the collection.\n\nThe underside bears the ©1988 TFM mark.\n\nMaker: The Franklin Mint\nCollection: Curio Cabinet Cats\nDesign: Egyptian\nDate: 1988\nMaterial: Solid bronze\nFinish: Dark bronze with turquoise-green detailing\nHeight: approximately 7.5 cm \/ 3 inches\nMark: ©1988 TFM\n\nA wonderful addition to an existing Franklin Mint Curio Cabinet Cats collection, and equally appealing as a miniature Egyptian-inspired bronze sculpture.\n\n*Condition*\n\nIn very good to excellent vintage condition.\nThe figurine appears complete and sound, with no breaks, repairs or significant losses identified. The ears, paws and tail are all intact.\n\nThere are minor signs of age and previous display, including gentle surface patination and some light marks to the underside, entirely commensurate with a vintage bronze figurine.\n\nThe turquoise-green decorative detailing remains particularly attractive.\n\nThe bronze has deliberately not been polished, preserving its existing finish and character.\n\nPlease study all photographs carefully as they form an important part of the description and condition report.\n\n*A Note from FS Vintage Co.*\n\nAll of our items are genuine vintage or antique pieces and have been loved throughout their lifetime.
