Unique Antique Heavily Gilded Base Metal Figure of Argentinian Cowboy (Gaucho):
$37.50

Unique late 19th century heavily gold gilded figure of Argentinian Cowboy - Gaucho. The acid test produced a strong, vivid green reaction confirming this is gold plated over a base metal - most likely spelter. The piece is 7 1/2\" tall and weight 3 lbs. 5 oz. It is a heavy piece. It was purchased from the estate of an antiques dealer/collector who had a penchant for clocks - not sure if this was originally a piece for a clock. Very unique piece that appears solid gold. Please read condition report and see photos.
