Description

Two very collectable early 20thc spelter statues of 1st world war soldiers....( spelter is a zinc-based alloy , often mixed with lead or copper , used to imitate bronze for statues and sculptures), one is an English "Tommy" throwing a hand grenade , dressed in full military uniform of the time and the other a Scottish soldier resplendent in his full military uniform holding his 303 rifle.....these would have been on display in the officers mess during the first world war.....both statues have done well to survive , they are both in excellent condition and have gained very good natural colour and patination with no repairs.....I would have expected to see statues of this quality signed, but I cannot find a signature.

FAQs

Spelter is a zinc alloy often used as a more affordable alternative to bronze for manufacturing decorative sculptures and figures during the 19th and early 20th centuries, usually finished with a bronze-like metallic coating.

These figures are typically produced via metal casting in moulds, often featuring hollow construction, and mounted on weighted circular or square bases made from slate, wood, or synthetic marble.

Authentic pieces from the era typically show age-appropriate surface oxidisation, accurate historical uniform details matching military regiments of 1914-1918, and traditional casting seams characteristic of early 20th-century manufacturing.

These pieces can be displayed on a bookshelf, mantelpiece, or desk to add historical character, pairing well with dark wood surfaces and traditional study or library aesthetics.

Preservation requires keeping the items in a stable indoor environment away from excessive moisture to prevent zinc pest or corrosion, cleaning only with a dry, soft cloth and avoiding chemical polishes.
