Description
19th c. Cast Gilded Bronze/Copper Figure of a Farmer And Spelter Floral Woman 30cm
Interesting pair of 19th Century newel post figurines (French?) depicting a farmer sowing seed and a woman holding a floral garland.
Cannot find a makers mark. I can say that the farmer is made from a very high percentage copper (I think bronze but cant be 100% sure). The female of the pair I think is made of spelter ( as I cant see any copper present)but cannot be sure without removing layers of patina.
Condition: Old. You may or may not wish to restore them. (See Photos)
Approx Size: Each Figure 12″ (30cm) on base.
Approx Weight: Farmer – 1.158 Kg Woman – 1.154 Kg
