David I should have been more clear, the set was purchased from their Flea Market section which has a variety of things they have acquired and partial sets.

The series is based, in part, on a painting by Tischbein showing the Langravess Philippine of Hesse on a heron hunt. 


Information on Philippine here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margravine_Philippine_of_Brandenburg-Schwedt

This is something that I have also wanted, I guessing the appeal is the time period of which this is an era I have an inate fondness.  Not sure of the significance of the location but, interesting group never-the-less, I am assuming a group passing during the hunt to have refreshment.  (Hunting practices of the well to do in this era are quite stunningly grotesque with the casual, wasteful brutality of it - as documented in the excellent The Pursuit of Glory.  Interestingly it reminded of our treatment of nature today only lacking the technology to really be harmful...)

Still delightful castings with two of impressive girth.  The tree is 7 inches high with the pavilion 4 1/2 inches by 4 inches.

This is a used set from Berliner Zinnfiguren which is missing the tent, they are currently selling the entire set new as well.  The one pictured is part of two sets from Hafer - Setting off on the Falcon Hunt

And unsurprisingly, a beautifully painted set from Gianpolo Bistulfi's site:
