Exceptional pair of Nubian figures in carved wood, gilded and polychromed.
They carry on one shoulder a torchère in bronze simulating a cornucopia topped with three light branches, and in the opposite hand a bowl filled with fruits in Murano glass.
They stand on hexagonal bases.
The polychromy and gilding are executed with extreme precision and are in a fine state of preservation.
Superb Venetian work from the late 19th century.
Electrification redone to European standards.
