Pair of Gilt Figural Children — Metal (reported bronze/spelter) decorative statues, heavy verdigris, one base broken

Lot: a charming pair of gilt-finish figural children on round stepped bases — two free-standing metal figures (warehouse reported metal: bronze/spelter) showing detailed modelling and a warm gilt surface. The strongest visible features are the expressive faces and sculpted clothing, but both pieces show heavy green verdigris/corrosion in places, widespread gilt/paint loss and one base with a large chunk missing and multiple cracks.

These statues suit a restorer, prop house, upholsterer or collector who wants a decorative pair for restoration, repainting or display as-is in a rustic setting. They can add character to a mantel, shelf or shop window, or provide parts/patterns for repair work. Buyers who value patina or who plan cosmetic restoration will find the pair useful; they are not presented as a finished antique attribution (no maker marks visible).
