Late 19th/early 20th century Crossed swords to bottom Depicting Count Brühl's tailor holding shears and carrying tailor's accouterments with two kids on his back riding a goat clutching an iron in his mouth 8.25" H x 7" W x 3.125" D Notes: Count Brühl was named one of the best-dressed men of his day and his tailor wanted some of the credit for this distinguished honor. As a reward, his tailor asked to dine at court. Count Brühl instead commissioned a centerpiece depicting the tailor riding a goat for the king's table as a way for the tailor to "dine" with the king. The popularity of the figure grew from there, resulting in the present version.
