About the Item
Pair of engraved metal sculptures depicting two mythological birds, traceable to the French sphere and datable to the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
The two sculptures are almost identical, distinguished by minor differences, such as the position of the paws; the most striking feature, however, lies in the chrome plating of the metal, as one sculpture is silver-colored, while the other has a surface coloring more like brass.
