Description from the seller

Rare Pair of Capodimonte Porcelain Figurines.

I present to you this magnificent and rare pair of porcelain figurines, from a private collection, made by the Capodimonte Porcelain factory (Naples). These sculptures are not only decorative objects, but also objects of Italian culture.

The two figures represent two noblemen in street clothes, in a moment of lightheartedness, happiness and perhaps love.
Owning this pair is like owning a piece of decorative art history. Fine workmanship and exceptional condition; the figurines are sublime examples of "Capodimonte Porcelain," a category that has encompassed the highest quality products for many centuries, renowned for the excellence of their pastes and decorations.
The blue on white punch attests to the period from the beginning of the 20th century to the middle of the same century.

The executive quality is stunning. The figures are hand-painted with vivid and authentic colors, making them extremely theatrical. The meticulous detail and the shine of the porcelain enhance their visual impact. It is extremely rare to find the complete pair in such perfect condition.
The sculptures are in excellent condition. They show no visible breaks, repairs, or alterations. They retain their original patina, which attests to their age and value.
These unique pieces stand out in any setting, adding a touch of elegance, art, and an unmistakable historical flavor.

The sculptures will be packed with the utmost professional care, using specific materials for fragile objects. The shipment will be entrusted to a well-known and reliable courier, with tracked and insured service, ensuring the safety of your valuable purchase.
