$2,600
About
Bring a touch of Provençal charm to your home or garden with this delightful pair of antique-style painted iron figures, crafted in southern France circa 1970. The composition features a young boy and girl rendered in a romanticized rustic manner, each standing on integral round bases and dressed in traditional countryside attire that evokes a timeless pastoral scene.
The girl is depicted in a softly draped blue dress, holding a woven basket while two ducks gather at her feet, adding movement and narrative to the piece. Her companion, a young boy in rolled trousers and an open-collar shirt, stands confidently beside a tree stump, creating a balanced and complementary pairing. The figures are richly detailed, from the expressive facial features to the textured garments and naturalistic elements.
Both sculptures are cast in iron and finished with hand-applied polychrome paint in soft, weathered pastel tones. The surfaces exhibit a beautifully aged patina with gentle wear throughout, enhancing their decorative appeal and authenticity. Solid and substantial, these figures are well-suited for interior display or for use in a covered outdoor setting.
The pair is in excellent condition commensurate with age and use, and presents a charming decorative statement for an entry, sunroom, or sheltered garden space.
