Regular price
$1,543.00
Presented is a wonderful pair of antique French bronze figurines on red marble bases, dating to around the 1850s-1870s, signed Sevres. The bronze is well cast and detailed, with a rich dark patina. One depicts a pair of winged putti, one holding a drawn bow and the other perhaps offering some aiming advice, while the other depicts two putti closely inspecting an arrow. These two pairs of bronze cherubs are very lively and charming, and the rich red marble bases have a very sumptuous look, making this a stunning addition to any home's décor.
This pair of bronzes is in great overall condition. On the one without a bow, the standing putti is missing a screw from one foot, but is still firmly attached to the base with the screw in the other foot. Nothing else is missing, there are no breaks or repairs to the bronze, and the marble bases are in great shape.
Both bronzes are signed Sevres on the side above the marble base.
Both bronzes measure about 5 3/4 inches in diameter for the base. One stands about 8 inches tall, and the other is about 8 3/8 inches tall. -jm
