This matched pair features a young man and woman dressed in 18th-century Rococo style, each holding a woven basket and surrounded by naturalistic flowers and vines. Their poses, expressive faces, and delicate details capture the charm and elegance of late 19th-century German porcelain.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBoth figures stand on ornate scrolling bases with applied flowers and foliage, finished in a soft, natural palette. The modelling is of exceptional quality, including fine lacework at the cuffs and collars and precise rendering of clothing and facial features. These are classic examples of Sitzendorf's finest work.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nEach is marked with the cobalt blue crossed-lines Sitzendorf factory mark beneath the base and numbered 209. The pair is well-balanced in form, colour, and detail, and makes an ideal decorative display or addition to a collection of 19th-century European porcelain.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nMeasurements\u003cbr\u003e\nMale figure: Height: 38.5 cm \/ 15″, Width: 17.5 cm \/ 6.75″, Depth: 17.5 cm \/ 6.75″, Weight: 1992 g\u003cbr\u003e\nFemale figure: Height: 38 cm \/ 15″, Width: 17 cm \/ 6.5″, Depth: 17.5 cm \/ 6.75″, Weight: 2066 g\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nCondition\u003cbr\u003e\nMale figure: Minor paint loss (interior of hat, belt, shoe) and a few small chips to the applied flowers and leaves.\u003cbr\u003e\nFemale figure: Tip of right thumb missing, minor paint loss on hat, minimal chipping to floral elements.\u003cbr\u003e\nBoth are in excellent antique condition overall with vibrant colours and original detail well preserved.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nShipping \u0026amp; Packaging\u003cbr\u003e\nShipped fully tracked and insured.\u003cbr\u003e\nShipping cost includes professional packaging, handling, and postage.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nPlease review all photos carefully before purchasing and feel free to ask any questions.\u003cbr\u003e\n","brand":"Gillers Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62882013315402,"sku":null,"price":890.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1066\/5351\/6106\/files\/il_fullxfull.6754789090_sl2c.jpg?v=1785888824","url":"https:\/\/gillersantiques.com\/products\/antique-sitzendorf-porcelain-figural-candlesticks-rococo-gardeners-c-1890","provider":"Gillers Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
