                                                                            Our figures from Jean BARRIERE(SEGOM) are tin flat figures.  

       

        These figures take integral part in the history of the lead soldiers.

      There are the first "small soldiers".The tin flat figures exist since the antiquity.

      In the ancient time

      there were knew under the name of "Nurmberg's soldiers".

      The subjects of these figures are civilian (huntings sceneries-knights of the middle-age),

      military (soldiers of the ancient time to Empire)

      and religious (The virgin of Notre Dame of Paris).

        

      The relief is suggested with the manner of the low reliefs.

      After many researchs Jean BARRIERE carries out a project with ink on tracing paper,on the scale of the future

       figure which will be engraved in hollow.See the photo of a mould

       

      These are the drawings which illustrate our catalogue.

       

       

       Nearly all the figures have been edited in subscription after sending of the drawings to collectors.

      The size is generally of 30mm from the eye of a pedestrian to the ground,

      that is to say 1/56 nd approximately.Some are 54mm high.

      Their advantages are their compactness which allows in a little place an effect of mass;

      their fineness wich does of each one a work of art ,

      fineness wich doesn't prevent an unquestionable solidity;

      finally, their weak price which place them to

      the range of all the purses.

       

      Our unpainted figures are sold by sets(séries), out of sets (Hors séries),

      or in the "Mini-collection".
