"A Special Day" ANRI Sarah Kay Wood Carved Figurine - Rare M/4000 Factory Master Sample (4")

A Sweet Celebration Carved in Alpine Wood

Bring a treasured piece of South Tyrolean woodcarving history and nostalgic romance to your collection with this extraordinarily scarce ANRI hand-carved wooden figurine, "A Special Day", designed by beloved Australian illustrator Sarah Kay! Standing approximately 4" tall, this endearing sculpture portrays a sweet young girl dressed in her celebratory best, holding a striped gift package in one hand and a lush bouquet of freshly gathered roses in the other. 💐🎁🎀🪵🇮🇹✨

Rare "M/4000" Factory Master Sample (Muster) Provenance: While the standard Limited Edition of this 4-inch sculpture was numbered sequentially from 1 to 4,000, the underside of this piece is deeply impressed with the scarce factory designation M/4000 alongside the inset silver-toned ANRI medallion and the DESIGN © VALENTINE hallmark. In ANRI’s St. Christina studio, the "M" stands for Muster (German for Master Sample or Showroom Model)—an ultra-select pre-production group painted by the studio's senior artisans to serve as the visual benchmark for the guild painters and for exhibition at flagship international trade shows!

Exquisite Craftsmanship & Quality: Carved from seasoned Alpine maple wood, this piece highlights the fine, natural texture of the Anri wood grain glowing beneath translucent, hand-applied oil washes. Every delicate brushstroke reflects senior guild artistry—from her three-tiered dusty rose and coral ruffle dress patterned with tiny white floral rings and accented with a warm chestnut-brown bodice ribbon, to her flowing wavy brown hair topped with a cream-and-green polka-dot bow, her yellow-and-white striped gift box, and the pastel cream and yellow blossoms in her bouquet. Incised with the Sarah Kay signature along the back of the faceted wooden base, it is in EXCELLENT condition with absolutely no chips, cracks, or repairs. ✨ Tuck this radiant archive gem onto a sunlit bedroom vanity, a romantic cottage-style bookshelf, or inside a lighted glass curio cabinet to celebrate life's sweetest milestones!
