This is a pair of antique virtue figures. A French, bronze decorative female statue in Art Nouveau taste, dating to the late Victorian period, circa 1890.
Delightful elegance and appealing Art Nouveau motif
Displaying a desirable aged patina and in good order
Bronze forms are wonderfully patinated throughout

Raised upon ebonised circular socles with rolled and tiered finish
Small annotated name plaques adorn the front of each socle
Pleasingly substantial in the hand; Modeste - 1.88kg (4.14 lb) & Gaiete - 1.98kg (4.36 lb)
