Figurine (2) - Spelter
No. 92883805
Date: ca. 19th century
These two statuettes may be small but they have great appeal! They feature two gentlemen in an identical pose, holding sticks, but with different costumes. The breeches, puff sleeves, petticoats and floppy hats point towards attire of the 17th century. These could be Spanish, Dutch or French noblemen or soldiers. They remind one of the musketeers. They stand on decorated square bases with corner feet. The screws on one of them are original and are handmade, dating these statuettes to the first half of the 19th century (the other has modern replacement screws).
Condition:
Good. Gilding has a nice aged patina without being too thinned. Replacement screws on one of the statues. One of the walking sticks has lost its top (see photo).
Dimensions:
13 cm high, 6.5 x 6.5 cm wide base, 700 g together
5.1” high, 2.5 x 2.5” wide base, 1.5 pounds together
