Executed in polychrome porcelain with delicately applied enamels, restrained gilding, and a refined bisque-like matt surface, the figures form a romantic genre scene with a balanced, theatrical composition. Each figure stands on a naturalistic base mounted on a separate black plinth with gilt ornament, typical of mid-19th-century Paris decorative porcelain. The impressed \"L \u0026amp; M\" marks are present to the bases.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe pair has a strong visual presence and was clearly intended for refined interior display. Examples of this size and quality are increasingly sought after by collectors of 19th-century French porcelain.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions:\u003cbr\u003e\nFemale figure: height 31.5 cm; width 14 cm; depth 14 cm; weight 1472 g.\u003cbr\u003e\nMale figure: height 31.8 cm; width 14 cm; depth 13.5 cm; weight 1454 g.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nCondition:\u003cbr\u003e\nOverall excellent antique condition. The female figure shows a few very small, unobtrusive firing cracks (approx. 2 mm), inherent to manufacture. The male figure has a small loss to the hat at his feet and a minor chip to the back of the jabot collar; otherwise in very good condition. No restorations; clean under UV light.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nPlease study the accompanying photographs carefully as they form an integral part of this description.
