Sold by The House of Antiques

Description

A pair of late 19th Century polychrome painted wooden Indian figures.

It’s likely that these figures were brought back to Britain from India as souvenirs in the late 19th century. The East India Company fuelled the desire for paintings and figures by travellers by setting up their own workshops to meet the demand. This pair of figures are well carved and neatly painted even down to the man's moustache and with real platted human hair on the female figure. With their original paper labels still in place, in great condition considering their age.

Dimensions in inches: H 12” x W 4” x D 4”

Age: Late 19th Century

Origin: India

Condition: Good

This item shows natural wear and aging with light scuffs and chipped painted detail. With no structural cracks (female ankle) which is only on the painted surface as shown.

We strongly suggest reviewing all the photos provided as part of this advert and propose questions where sections are unclear to avoid disappointment upon purchase.
