The gentleman raises a wine cup in toast while the lady plays a lute — an elegant Rococo courtship with soft satin complexions, delicate enamels and fine gilding typical of top-tier Vieux Paris work. The cup bears raised \"L h,\" likely a workshop code for l'homme. A period label \"G. F. Webber from France 1871\" to the bases documents export to Boston's elite market and places manufacture slightly earlier (c. 1868-1870). Unmarked, as expected for the finest Paris ateliers. A showpiece pair with scale, grace and documented 19th-century provenance.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nMeasurements\u003cbr\u003e\nMan:\u003cbr\u003e\nHeight: 41.7 cm \/ 16.4″\u003cbr\u003e\nWidth: 18 cm \/ 7.1″\u003cbr\u003e\nDepth: 18 cm \/ 7.1″\u003cbr\u003e\nWeight: 1,583 g\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nLady:\u003cbr\u003e\nHeight: 40 cm \/ 15.7″\u003cbr\u003e\nWidth: 15.5 cm \/ 6.1″\u003cbr\u003e\nDepth: 15.5 cm \/ 6.1″\u003cbr\u003e\nWeight: 1,522 g\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nCondition\u003cbr\u003e\nMan: Small drilled base hole (old lamp conversion); minor gilt wear; excellent overall.\u003cbr\u003e\nLady: Lute end restored; thumb reattached; small strap loss; small drilled base hole; slight gilt wear; excellent antique condition.\u003cbr\u003e\nQuestions welcome.
