Background – Founded in 1825 in Paris, CBG Mignot has perpetuated the great tradition of making toy soldiers for nearly 200 years. Per the company’s website – “each of our figurines is always cast, assembled and meticulously painted by hand, using ancestral processes. The fundamentally artisanal nature of our production means that none of the figurines is similar to another, that each of them, in some way, is original and that we always feel the hand of the worker who participated in its creation.”
