Description
Pair of Polychromed Bronze Female Blackamoor Figures, 20th c., each with a leopard skin wrap and a clinging putto, on an ebonized composition base, Figures- H.- 50 in., W.- 9 1/2 in., D.- 12 in., Plinth- H.- 10 in., W.- 19 in., D.- 10 in.
Condition
Figures are composed of a polychrome bronzed metal. Figures have scattered flaking (losses to pigment) scattered throughout, but visibly noticeable on belly and arms, and a few nicks and scuffs. Both figures likely held a long torchere as there are small attachment holes on the hand and on the hip. Diameter of clasped hand is 3/4 in. Classic tapered dining candle has a diameter of 7/8, so it could be easily shaved slightly to fit the clasped hands.
