Sarosa Comet
A really cute French, green patinated sculpture of a fish mounted on a wonderful and unusual marble base which almost looks like woodgrain. The base measures 8.5 by 3 inches with a total height of 7.5 inches to the top of his fin. Condition is exceptional with all original green patina and just a small chip to the marble on one corner

Harem Twins with Mirror
Beautiful French spelter dancing twins. I have had this figure in various forms many times now but it is never signed so I do not know the artist. If I had to guess - I would say perhaps Dauvergne or Limousin. They have a gold patina with zigzag hair styles and are holding a mirror between them. I would suggest this is a dressing table piece. They are mounted on a diamond shaped Sienna marble base that measures 15.5 inches long by 4 deep and the ladies are 7.5 inches high to the top of their hands. Condition is good but both ladies have some finger damage,and are priced accordingly. I also have another version of this figure with the ladies not holding a mirror. Email me for pics if required, quoting the ref number.

Menneville Lady
A spelter and ivorene lady wearing a green dress with black enamel detail accompanied by a black spelter dog, on a base of black marble and green and cream onyx, with the signature in the base. Measures 23 inches by 9 inches high and 6.5 inches deep.

'The Hunter'
A spelter hunter mounted on an onyx and portorro lozenge shaped base, measuring 24 inches by 6 inches deep and 16 inches high, with a pair of onyx intersections. Signed indistinctly (Kowas), of whom I am not familiar. The patina is a mustard on dark green ground and is suffering from some patina loss. Otherwise in nice original condition with just the usual marble nibbles.
