Object Description

Two elegant antique French gilded neoclassical spelter figures dating to circa 1880.

This decorative pair of classical sculptures – one modelled as a seated female holding a wheat sheaf, emblematic of agriculture, and the other as another seated female with a hammer resting in one hand and a gear in the other, emblematic of industry – are perfect for placement either side of a mantelpiece, sideboard or console, bringing an air of grace and sophistication to any setting.

With their similar poses, one looking left, the other gazing right and matching gilded finish, these classical French figures could even be used as a stylish pair of decorative bookends.

Object Condition

Good structural condition. Hollow. Little bit of rubbing in places. Figure representing agriculture was possibly once holding a scythe tool; now lost.
