AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Pair of Antique French Allegorical Female Figures – Zamak – Possibly Clock Garniture Ornaments – ca. 1880–1910
Description
Decorative pair of antique allegorical female figures, presumably originating from France and dating from the late 19th or early 20th century.
The figures are made of zamak (a zinc alloy) and finished with an attractive two-tone patina in dark bronze and gold hues.
Both women wear elegantly draped robes and stand in a dynamic pose with one arm raised. One figure holds a gilt branch aloft and carries a sickle-shaped object in her other hand.
The figures stand on identical, richly ornamented bases with floral reliefs and elegant details.
Given their symmetrical design and decorative style, the figures may originally have been made as side ornaments for a French mantel clock or clock garniture (garniture de cheminée).
