About the Item
Probably Mdme. Pompadour and Mdme. DuBarry caricatures, popular motif in the 19th century. On coral colored marble bases, and probably of architectural origin. Great color contrast between red bole and gilding.
Usual aging issues with giltwood, bleeding of red basecoat, nicks, dings, age cracks and other small losses to the form and finish.
Distressed finish but in a pretty way. Repairs and touchups.
Measurements in this listing are approximate as each is hand carved and configured differently. The taller of the two is given.
Overall sturdy.

Located in Kittery Point, ME
