Description: This is a beautiful set of Fontanini & Depose pieces. There are some condition issues, as noted below, but the pieces are still very displayable. The colors are still vibrant and the details are remarkable. I believe the paper mache figurines are from the 1950's and the Depose animals are from the 1980's.
