Product description
Pair of decorative porcelain figures: a reclining bearded man on a rustic bench and an elegantly dressed standing lady. Both pieces are hand-painted in soft pastels with gilt highlights; the underside shows a black circular stamp and painted/handwritten numbers and a small green workshop mark — seller notes one piece as Capodimonte. The pair presents a lively, collectible pair of table-top figures with good sculptural detail in clothing, faces and the textured base work.
These figures suit collectors of decorative porcelain, vintage display for a mantel, cabinet or boutique interior, and decorators seeking period-style accents. They will appeal to buyers who appreciate hand-finished decorative ceramics and makers’ marks; note the pair is offered together and displays visible age and use, so best for display or careful restoration rather than museum-grade presentation.
