Striking pair of Renaissance Revival style figural statues, richly detailed and full of old-world character.
Each figure stands in period dress, one holding a falcon and the other a racket, evoking a European Grand Tour aesthetic with a nod to sport and aristocratic life. The sculptural detail throughout—from the drapery to the expressive faces—gives these a strong presence whether styled on a console, bookshelf, or flanking a mantel.
Finished in a dark patinated tone, these appear to be cast in spelter, a material commonly used in the 19th century for decorative sculpture. They have a wonderful aged look that fits beautifully into traditional, maximalist, or moody interiors.
Details:
• Sold as a pair
• Material: Spelter (zinc alloy) with dark patina
• Style: Renaissance Revival / Grand Tour
