Pair of Musical Angels. European School. 19th Century.

Descriptio Enameled and polychrome tin. Dimensions: height 24 cm x width 12 cm x depth 8 cm (each figure, approx.). Sculptural group composed of two child figures with parrot wings, dressed as Commedia dell’arte musicians, singing and playing the flute. The vivid colours and delicate modelling evoke the playful, narrative style of Central European porcelain, although executed in enamelled tin with technical care. The circular bases imitate green marble. Decorative pieces, typical of the 19th-century bourgeois taste for the exotic and tender, with allegorical and musical references. Due to its age and history of use, this lot may show signs of wear and previous interventions. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, no specialized technical testing has been performed. The absence of any mention of restorations does not guarantee that none exist. You may request additional information before placing a bid. This does not affect the buyer’s statutory rights.

Estimate:£1,501.79
