Sold by LVS Decorative Arts

Description

A fine quality large pair of late 19th century Classical spelter figures, possibly French.

The bearded figure being Vercingetorix of The Gauls, the other figure being Julius Caesar of Rome.

These figures are both of excellent quality and have a bronze patination, giving the appearance of bronze figures.

Vercingetorix was a Gaul Chieftain of the Averni tribe and he united the Gauls in a revolt against Roman armies during the final years of Julius Caesar's Gallic wars.

The Gauls fought the Roman armies for many years and were again defeated in this battle by the Roman army, led by Julius Caesar.
