These compact figures continue the long-established Four Seasons tradition and show the mature Rococo style still used at Chelsea in the 1770s-1780s. Summer carries a sheaf of wheat, and Autumn holds grapes under a vine wreath. Comparable examples are held in major museum collections, reflecting the enduring importance of this group within Chelsea's output.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n⸻\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nMeasurements\u003cbr\u003e\n\t•\tSummer: Height 20.7 cm (8.15″); Width 14 cm (5.51″); Depth 13.5 cm (5.31″); Weight 925 g\u003cbr\u003e\n\t•\tAutumn: Height 20.5 cm (8.07″); Width 14 cm (5.51″); Depth 13 cm (5.12″); Weight 913 g\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n⸻\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nCondition\u003cbr\u003e\nA well-presenting pair with typical age-related restoration.\u003cbr\u003e\nSummer has a restored left arm, a missing bocage element and the original sickle is lost, with some rubbing to the gilding.
