Description

A very large pair of French porcelain hand painted figures.

This superb, exhibition-sized pair of mid-19th-century hand-painted porcelain figures is French, produced by the Letu and Mauger factory of L'Isle-Adam near Paris, between 1854 and 1893.

This very large high quality pair of figures depicts a young man and a lady, both opulently dressed in fine 18th century costume and captured in a pose where the man is greeting the young lady.

The highly decorative figures are produced in fine bisque porcelain and are beautifully hand painted in bright colours with lots of areas with lustrous, smooth and raised gilding.

These large and impressive figures are in very good condition. The female carries the factory mark on the underside, which is a bold capital L and M in a rectangular boarder.

The male figure shows some slight firing shrinkage to the underside produced in the kiln during manufacture.

Height 69cm x depth 29cm x width 29cm

French, circa 1860
