Figure - Set van twee klassieke figuren (2) - Spelter

An impressive pair of large decorative sculptures depicting allegorical female figures, executed in patinated spelter and inspired by classical antiquity. These finely detailed figures reflect the aesthetic of late 19th-century French decorative art, with elegant posture, expressive faces, and richly ornamented bases in a baroque revival style. The composition and craftsmanship strongly relate to productions from the late 1800s, a period known for high-quality decorative metalwork designed for bourgeois interiors. One figure holds a wreath, symbolizing victory or triumph, while the other carries an attribute associated with music or abundance, reinforcing their allegorical symbolism. The sculptures display a naturally aged patina and remain in good condition, with minor wear consistent with age. Details: • Material: Patinated spelter • Origin: France (attributed) • Period: Late 19th century (circa 1880–1900) • Height: approx. 50 cm each • Width: approx. 14 cm • Condition: Good overall condition with minor signs of age and wear A decorative and collectible pair with strong visual presence and classical appeal.
