This is a rare and unusual Pair of Antique English Derby Bocage Figures on Plinths. The man and woman are elegantly attired in 18th Century garb, are backed by large bocage trees with flowers; and are mounted on scrolled plinth bases. He plays the flute; she holds an apron full of flowers. The modeling, painting, and glaze of these figurines are masterfully done; they are decorated with brilliant colors and extensive gilding. The bases are round shaped stylized raised plinths with four scrolled feet, ornately formed, and gilded. The underside bottoms are glazed; the base foot bottoms are unglazed. These items are attributed as being English Derby; there are no makers marks. Dimensions- each (in inches): 9.7 Tall X 6.6 Wide X 3.7 Deep. Combined weight is 4 Lbs. 0 Oz. The date is circa 1820, early 19th Century, or a bit earlier. The items are in good condition: visual observation reveals some minor losses to leaves and flowers, some previous restoration to a few of the leaves and flowers, and a black light test confirms older work on a few of the leaves. The man and woman are in good condition; she holds a stem to what was probably a flower (now missing) in her left hand. This is the condition of the bocage figurines when acquired years back- no other or new restorations; considering the detail and the age, they are in quite good shape! Shipping and Insurance by USPS Priority Mail within the U.S. is $25.00. Thanks for your interest!
