They occur in various media, often holding a tray or some other container, which was available for practical use. They occur in jewelry, armorial designs and decorative art. They often represent a conceit depicting a symbolic servant, and large examples of about half-size were placed on either sides of doorways, as real footmen might be. These examples were typically in cheaper materials such as painted wood, or plaster.</i></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The gilt mark is probably the decorator&#039;s mark.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
